In the clinical trials of 35 cardiometabolic drugs approved by the FDA, women represented only 36% of the participant population.

How does this lack of representation affect women's health all over the world? What are the unique challenges women face as they navigate healthcare? What are some active steps women can take to look after their health starting today?

Join the conversation with orthopedic surgeon Mary O'Connor, MD Oly, and medical anthropologist Kanwal L. Haq to understand the current landscape of women’s health.
