Women's healthcare in the UK is poorer than some countries with worrying standards on human rights like Saudi Arabia and China, according to a global league table.
The UK has been ranked lower than most comparable Western countries, including the USA, Australia, New Zealand, France and Germany, in the 2021 Hologic Global Women's Health Index published today.
Analysts blamed the UK's ranking on women struggling to access preventive care (such as screening for cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure ), diagnosis for causes of pain and support with mental health issues.
