Revolution in women's health: a modern and proactive vision
Female Health Awareness at the Center of European Strategies
The New Era of Women’s Healthcare Prevention in Europe
Female healthcare prevention has taken on new importance in Europe, particularly through the EU4Health 2021-2027 program. This program, representing the largest ever undertaken by the EU in the healthcare sector, places a particular emphasis on promoting health and preventing diseases, with a budget of 5.1 billion euros. The program supports various actions, including crisis preparedness, healthcare system and healthcare personnel support, and digital innovation, with a specific focus on women’s health.
EU Strategies for Gender Equality and Combating Violence
The European Commission has adopted a gender equality strategy for the period 2020-2025, committing to bridging gender gaps in research and innovation. Additionally, it is actively engaged in combating violence against women, with initiatives such as the “NO.NO.NEIN” campaign and the “Spotlight Initiative” in collaboration with the United Nations, aiming to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls.
Awareness Campaigns and Mobile Clinics
During the pandemic, many screenings were postponed, but the importance of awareness campaigns has been emphasized to encourage participation in regular check-ups. Many associations and organizations have provided free screenings and informational campaigns, also utilizing mobile clinics to reach people in areas far from hospital facilities. These mobile clinics, equipped with advanced technologies, enable the implementation of mammographic and breast health screenings, improving access to preventive care.
A Future of Personalized and Accessible Prevention
Awareness initiatives and advances in medical technology are paving the way for a future where women’s healthcare prevention will be more accessible and personalized. Thanks to informed campaigns and the use of mobile and innovative tools, progress is being made toward a more inclusive and proactive healthcare system, capable of reaching a greater number of women and providing more effective preventive care.
These developments represent a significant breakthrough in women’s health, emphasizing a more holistic and integrated approach that goes beyond simply treating diseases to embrace a broader vision of women’s health and well-being in Europe.
