A new report from the World Economic Forum highlights a significant funding gap in women's health research, with only 20% of R&D investment directed towards conditions affecting women. This underfunding is concentrated in just a few areas like ovarian cancer and menopause, leaving other critical conditions like ischemic heart disease and premenstrual syndrome with minimal resources. The report, developed in collaboration with Kearney Health Institute, Gates Foundation, and Wellcome Leap, also points to a lack of women-specific clinical trials and a failure to translate scientific findings into scalable products, despite the potential to boost global GDP by $1 trillion annually.
