Community Engagement at Bangkok Patana: Medic Heart

By Selma Anderson in Year 12

Historically, women have been under-represented in medical research. Many clinical studies have frequently excluded female participants, and the findings derived predominantly from male cohorts have frequently been generalised to female and intersex patients, notwithstanding significant anatomical and physiological differences. (Dr Konstantina Davaki, 2025) The lack of inclusion has created significant gaps in our understanding of how specific treatments affect women, heightening the risk of adverse outcomes and reducing the effectiveness of medical treatment. As a result, the team Medic Heart was created with the goal of bringing awareness to gender inequality and misrepresentation in the medical field. We have recently collaborated with the Foundation for Woman’s Health so that students within Bangkok Patana can ask educated questions and become better informed by getting responses from professionals.
