Council urged to create a directive safeguarding workers from hazards associated with ionising radiation exposure.
In a bid to improve healthcare for women in Saarland, the SPD state parliament faction has announced a public hearing focused on the topic of endometriosis and gender-sensitive medicine.
The hearing, which is set to take place soon, aims to provide concrete impulses for measures that can contribute to better healthcare for women in the region. Christina Baltes, spokeswoman for women's policy of the SPD faction, has emphasized the need for more research, better information, and local, specialized care for endometriosis.
Endometriosis, a chronic disease that affects millions of women in Germany, often remains undetected or is diagnosed late. This hearing offers an opportunity to discuss the need for more research and better information, as well as the importance of local, specialized care for endometriosis patients.
Florian Schäfer, health policy spokesman for the SPD state parliament faction, has emphasized the importance of gender-sensitive medicine for medical quality. He notes that men and women have different symptoms, disease courses, and therapy needs, making gender-sensitive medicine crucial for improving healthcare.
The hearing will involve representatives from medical practice, research, associations, and self-help groups. The SPD state parliament faction in Saarland is working to strengthen gender-sensitive medicine, and this hearing is a significant step in that direction.
The motion decided in March by the SPD also includes a proposal for a federal council initiative to destigmatize endometriosis. Furthermore, the motion includes a stronger consideration of gender-sensitive medicine in the training of health professionals.
The central focus of the planned hearing will be on the topic of endometriosis. The aim of the public hearing is to gain further momentum for better healthcare, particularly for women. While the name of the person serving as the spokeswoman for women's policy related to endometriosis in the SPD parliamentary group in Saarbrücken state politics is not explicitly mentioned, references to a "women's and equality policy spokeswoman" named Susanne appear in the context of SPD discussions, although it is unclear if she is from the Saarbrücken state level or another region.
The SPD has set an important course with this motion, including a proposal for a systematic collection of gender-specific health data in Saarland. The public hearing on gender-sensitive medicine will be a significant milestone in this endeavour.
