Endometriosis has long been wrongly perceived to be rare among women of African descent. The misconception about the prevalence of endometriosis among African women has significantly contributed to long diagnostic delays, and care, and a scarcity of research on the condition among African women. Additionally, endometriosis care in Africa from the general population and health practitioners is poor; this can be attributed to the high diagnostic cost, scarcity of trained specialists, as well as patients’ inability to express their symptoms due to societal taboos surrounding menstrual health.

Let's not forget that behind yet another maternity review are those who have been affected by inadequate care. How many maternity reviews, and how many affected families, will it take before lessons are actually learned and NHS maternity services are properly funded?

"One of the things that we have learnt from previous maternity inquiries is that lessons, when things go wrong, don't get learnt. So we have to change that culture." @LeighDay_Law's Stephen Jones on @BBCBreakfast this morning discussing #NHS maternity failings in Nottingham.

Study predicts that the number of people living with diabetes will increase “aggressively” with serious impacts on healthcare. This is accelerated by health inequalities, which also lead to unequal access to medications and impact on quality of life. theguardian.com/society/2023/j…

Take a read of @White_Suz and my recent blog discussing perineal trauma women can obtain during childbirth. We hope that this blog raises awareness to all and a reminder that those affected can contact @masic_uk for support #awareness #perinealtrauma #maternity #healthcare

Independent expert advice has repeatedly been that substantial reductions in meat and dairy as essential to tackle climate change, yet the Government has failed to action these recommendations. The decision of the CoA will scrutinise the Government's approach.
Leigh Day@LeighDay_Law

Tomorrow, @feedbackorg has a Court of Appeal hearing to argue that the Government's failure to adopt measures to reduce meat and dairy production and consumption in its Food Strategy published in June 2022 was unlawful. @RowWilliamSmith represents leighday.co.uk/news/news/2023…
