Women’s health – an unmet need
Women represent 51% of the population. Yet, only about 1% of healthcare research and innovation is invested in female-specific conditions beyond oncology.
We are committed to advancing women’s sex-specific conditions and general health issues that affect women differently or disproportionately throughout their life cycle, from prevention and diagnosis to treatment.
A thriving hub calls all service providers to join us.
We drive awareness, cutting-edge research, and innovation in women’s health. We connect companies, healthcare professionals, and higher education institutions.
We aim to become an internationally recognized and respected hub that addresses current women’s health issues and provides innovative solutions for women’s health and well-being.
Through the Women’s Health Hub Finland network, you can find partners for research, development, and business — and stay up to date on the women’s health sector. Join now and be part of Europe’s most significant and attractive innovation hub for women’s health.
