Fact Sheet
Closing the gender gap in health is essential to ensure equality in life and healthcare – but also to drive the future global economy. A strong line-up of political and scientific initiatives places Denmark as an ideal location for testing and developing innovative solutions and establishing new ventures promoting women’s health.
Historically, women’s health has been overlooked and underprioritized, leading to significant unmet medical needs, data gaps and investment disparities. The imbalance in addressing the health needs of half the population has vast socio-economic consequences hindering economic progress globally.
To raise awareness and counteract the imbalance, a number of new initiatives - both political, scientific and economic - have put Denmark on the map as an attractive location for research, business developments and innovative partnerships elevating women’s health.
