Why the NHS repeatedly fails women like Naga Munchetty

  • Summary

  • Last month, the BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty told a Parliamentary inquiry that she lived in pain for three decades and was told by GPs to ‘suck it up’ before doctors finally diagnosed her with adenomyosis. Shockingly, she is not alone. This week, Ethan Ennals explores why the NHS has such a severe sexism problem. He speaks to GP and MoS columnist Dr Philippa Kaye who explains this isn’t just a male doctor problem – female clinicians can also fail to take women’s health as seriously as men’s. Meanwhile patient Fiona Jackson recounts a painful and terrifying coil-fitting which could have been avoided had her male GP listened to her concerns. Hosted on Acast.
