What: The World Economic Forum has a look at why improving diagnostics in women’s health is “essential” to improving women’s health outcomes. They focus on preeclampsia and PCOS as places where “early identification” could save and improve women’s lives, but also note that diagnostics can also serve as a way to make care more affordable by catching issues sooner.

Key line: “An accurate and timely diagnosis empowers women with informed choices, enabling them to seek care sooner, effectively manage conditions and improve long-term health outcomes. For instance, fertility awareness remains low, with many women seeking interventions only when their fertility is already in decline. Early diagnostic testing for ovarian reserve, however, can help women make proactive decisions about their reproductive health.”
