The Women’s Health Crisis (and how to thrive despite it)

Naga Munchetty In Conversation With Hannah MacInnes

Throughout much of history, women’s pain and their health issues have been ignored, viewed simply as an innate part of being female. Naga Munchetty is here to change things.

It’s time women’s health is taken seriously.

In 2023, Naga Munchetty spoke out about her diagnosis of the gynaecological condition adenomyosis and her struggles to be taken seriously by healthcare professionals. The result was an incredible response from women who said they too felt dismissed by their doctors.

Journalist and broadcaster Naga Munchetty spoke to more than 80 women about their health struggles and explores the challenges of being heard, diagnosed and treated. Joining us for a candid conversation at the Royal Society of Medicine, she will tell us about her own difficulty getting answers, explore why the healthcare system can feel rigged against women, and why things still aren’t changing quickly enough.

Consulting healthcare professionals and experts every step of the way, Naga looks at what can be done to level the playing field.

What should you look out for when seeking help? How can you confidently advocate for yourself and for your loved ones at the doctor’s office and beyond? Join us for an empowering conversation to help you get the care you deserve and live life to the full.
