Jennifer Gillivan, President and CEO of the IWK Foundation, joins us on this episode to discuss why Canada needs a national women’s health strategy and how systemic bias in science, medicine, and policy leaves women behind. She explains how decades of underfunding and male-default research have shaped today’s “illness-care” system, what she’s hearing from thousands of women across Atlantic Canada, and why her mantra is to educate, advocate, and mobilize to equalize. Gillivan also talks about the power of philanthropy and femtech to fuel a global women’s health movement and build a fairer future for all women. Host: Dr. Liisa Galea
