Back to EpisodesZoe's Pain: UK's Women's Health Crisis
Description
Zoe Traffords struggle with endometriosis, a condition dismissed as normal periods, led to major surgery and ongoing pain, forcing her to quit her job. Englands womens health strategy, promised in 2022, has failed to deliver, with gynaecology waiting lists doubling to 565,000. The new plan aims to address these issues by tying funding to feedback, streamlining referrals, and setting standards for pain relief. However, experts warn that over half a million women still wait, emphasizing the need for womens health hubs and real momentum to fix the gaps.
