Hadi Mohamad Abu Rasheed: Why Are Women Diagnosed Later Than Men?
Hadi Mohamad Abu Rasheed, Scientific Advisor at the Qatar Cancer Society and is an Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Doha for Science and Technology, posted on LinkedIn:
“Why Are Women Diagnosed Later Than Men? Let’s Discuss.
A study by the University of Copenhagen found that women are diagnosed an average of four years later than men across more than 700 diseases—and two and a half years later when it comes to cancer.
This raises important questions:
• Why does this gender gap exist in healthcare?
• How does delayed diagnosis impact women’s health outcomes?
• What steps can we take to close this gap?
At a time when we are advocating for early detection, timely treatment, and equitable healthcare, these findings serve as a critical wake-up call.
What are your thoughts? Have you seen this play out in your professional or personal experiences? Let’s start the conversation—share your insights in the comments.”
