Healthcare Perspectives

Healthcare Perspectives is a podcast by Siemens Healthineers about medical breakthroughs with the power to improve the lives of patients and their families everywhere. Listen to the latest episodes here.

With significant disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and funding when compared to men, women’s health has long been underserved. These gaps affect not only individual health outcomes, they also have societal and economic implications which are highlighted by a recent report by the World Economic Forum and The McKinsey Health Institute which addresses a $1 trillion dollar opportunity to improve lives and economies by mitigating these disparities. We’re joined by board members of the World Economic Forum’s Global Alliance for Women’s Health to discuss how building a more equitable healthcare system can drive meaningful change, improve healthcare for women, and create access to significant economic potential worldwide.

In this episode, host Elisabeth Staudinger, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens Healthineers, is joined by fellow World Economic Forum’s Global Alliance for Women’s Health board members

  • Nadia Fettah, Minister of Economy and Finance for the Government of Morocco
  • Shyam Bishen, Head of the Centre for Health & Healthcare at the World Economic Forum
