It discusses how biomedicine has historically been shaped by gender, race, class, and other forms of discrimination, leading to ongoing disparities in health outcomes for women and gender-diverse individuals. The special issue features contributions from scholars across various disciplines and countries, exploring topics such as the gendering of chronic illness, reproductive health, and the experiences of marginalized communities within healthcare systems. It advocates for a more inclusive and equitable approach to health practices and research that recognizes the lived experiences of diverse patient populations. [Extracted from the article] |
