Black women with endometriosis often face delayed diagnoses and inequitable treatment in the healthcare system. Their experiences, shared in a recent segment on WBGH’s All Things Considered, underscore the urgent need for change. The discussion, featuring Natalya Martins, MHQP’s Vice President of Programs, highlights these inequities and the work MHQP recently completed in partnership with the Endometriosis Association to develop a research agenda aimed at addressing these issues. Martins concludes the segment with hopes for a better future in which “Black women with endometriosis don’t have to fight to be believed.” 🎧Listen to the interview: https://lnkd.in/ewNEt65k
