It's been an exciting week for the Women's Brain Foundation being present at two key events in Italy!
Week 18-22 November, 2024
On November 20 our Scientific Lead, Dr. Mariapaola Barbato, had the honor of attending the prestigious Patient Engagement Award ceremony, hosted by Helaglobe, a platform dedicated to fostering innovation and positive impact in healthcare for patients and their caregivers. This year, WBF proudly participated with our Women’s Quota Campaign, showcasing our commitment to advancing women’s brain health and making a difference. A big thank you to Cristina Loprete and the entire Helaglobe team for creating such an inspiring space for innovation in patient-centered care! We look forward to the next edition!
On November 21, our CEO, Dr Antonella Santuccione Chadha delivered an insightful speech at the Women Economic Forum (WEF) in Rome. She addressed the crucial topic of ‘Preparing for Longevity: How to Improve Health Span from a Young Age’. Dr. Santuccione Chadha passionately called for collective efforts to enhance healthcare systems for both women and men. She emphasized the importance of gender precision medicine, considering both biological determinants (sex) and societal constructs (gender) in their impact on healthcare. She advocated for rewriting medical texts with a female perspective, highlighting the neglect of women’s bodies in research and healthcare.
