Lancet Haematology Commission proposes ten actions for equitable blood-disorder care for women, with a Thai haematologist among the authors
The Lancet Haematology Commission on global female health and haematology draws on evidence from clinical care, research, public health, and policy to identify gaps that delay diagnosis or lead to inconsistent care for women and girls across menstruation, pregnancy, the postpartum period, and later life. Its ten proposed actions include faster diagnosis, screening for heavy menstrual bleeding and iron deficiency, stronger postpartum haemorrhage and thrombosis care, and equitable representation of women in research and clinical guidance.
