Maia Meier: You Cannot Diagnose What You Do Not Recognize
Maia Meier, Clinical Exercise Physiologist at Maia Letitia Fitness, shared EHC – European Haemophilia Consortium‘s post on LinkedIn:
“One of the themes that continues to emerge through Project Elevate Her is that awareness and diagnosis are inseparable.
If bleeding disorders in women and girls aren’t recognized, they aren’t investigated.
If they aren’t investigated, they aren’t diagnosed.
And without a diagnosis, access to appropriate care can be delayed for years — sometimes decades.
Grateful to Dr Özlem Turan for sharing her perspective and helping bring attention to an issue that affects so many women around the world.
Awareness leads to diagnosis. Diagnosis leads to care. And care changes lives.”
EHC – European Haemophilia Consortium shared a post on LinkedIn:
“‘If we don’t recognise bleeding disorders in women and girls, we cannot diagnose them. And if we cannot diagnose them, we cannot treat them.’ – Dr Özlem Turan (Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, UK).
One in four women experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding may have an underlying, undiagnosed bleeding disorder.
Yet for many, the wait for a diagnosis stretches to 14 years – or even four decades.
Lack of awareness among healthcare professionals, inconsistent investigation pathways, and a major gap in research addressing women’s health outcomes all play a role.
Dr Turan calls on healthcare professionals and the wider community to raise the bar on awareness and earlier diagnosis, because equitable healthcare for women and girls with bleeding disorders is not optional.
It is overdue.
This is one of the expert voices EHC is sharing as part of Project Elevate Her, a global initiative using the Seven Summits to raise awareness for women with bleeding disorders.
This month, Maia Meier climbs Mont Blanc as the first expedition of this journey, because diagnosis changes everything.
Follow along and support the campaign.”
