Despite pockets of progress, reports Fierce Pharma, five years of Hologic Global Women's Health Index data show a troubling reality: screening rates for key preventable conditions remain unacceptably low, and overall progress in #WomensHealth is stagnant.

Preventive screening is rising globally, yet 1.5 billion women still lack access to essential tests worldwide. Surveying 145,000 people across 144 countries, the Hologic Global Women's Health Index shows why closing the screening gap must remain a priority.

Were you screened or tested for any kind of cancer in the past 12 months? That’s one of the questions we asked 145,000 people across 144 countries and territories to develop the fifth edition of the Hologic Global Women's Health Index. We learned that despite increasing rates of cancer among younger women, only 6% of women reported being screened for cancer last year. In some countries, it’s even lower. In Pakistan and Indonesia, less than 1 in 100 women reported being screened last year. #WomensHealth #WomensHealthIndex

Preventive care must be the foundation of global health strategy. That was the throughline of the launch event in Washington D.C. for the latest Hologic Global Women’s Health Index. We convened public health leaders and women’s health advocates to examine five years of global data, and to confront a persistent screening gap that continues to leave too many women behind. The conversation moved beyond statistics. From a data briefing by our Director of Global Health and Innovation, Mia Keeys, DrPH, MA, to a dynamic panel discussion with leaders Jody Hoyos, MHA from Prevent Cancer Foundation, Janet Fleischman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), and Ritu Sharma from CARE — the focus was clear: prevention must come first. Thank you to everyone who joined us, to our moderator Elvina Nawaguna from Punchbowl News, and to Gallup for their partnership on the Index and for hosting this important conversation. #WomensHealth #WomensHealthIndex

It’s here: the fifth edition of the Hologic Global Women’s Health Index. This year’s data highlight a persistent global screening gap. An estimated 1.5 billion women did not receive a single preventive test for cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes or STIs in the past year, despite global screening rates rising. In partnership with Gallup, we surveyed 145,000 people across 144 countries and territories to understand the state of women’s health worldwide. Beyond screening, women continue to report high levels of worry, stress and daily pain. The numbers matter. But so do the lived experiences behind them. To better understand those stories, we reached out to women around the world who shared how health shapes their work, families, safety and futures. We heard that prevention cannot begin at the point of crisis. It needs to start with access and screenings. Better global health for women starts with data. It starts with listening. It starts here.

#EarlyDetection took center stage recently at an event in Massachusetts that brought together government leaders and healthcare experts, hosted by the New England Council. Our own Phylicia Woods Lisiak, Esq spoke on a panel about how #innovation in advanced imaging and molecular diagnostics, including AI-powered solutions, is helping to improve detection for diseases like breast cancer and cervical cancer — and why it’s important for regulation to keep pace with emerging technologies to continue to advance #PatientCare. #WomensHealth #AIinHealthcare

Thank you to all the patient advocacy groups and experts who joined us at our fourth annual Patient Advocacy Day in Brussels, especially our chairs Athena Lamnisos and Matejka Rebolj. We brought together patient advocates, clinicians, researchers, policymakers and health leaders committed to accelerating progress in #WomensHealth, cervical cancer prevention and ultimately its elimination. Participants shared insights on lived experience, cultural barriers, global screening trends, policymaker engagement and the role of digital innovation and AI in advocacy. Athena reminded us, “You don’t know what you don’t know. By sharing our knowledge and best practices, we go further together."
