Women’s health around the world is “no better” than it was at the height of the pandemic, according to a recently released survey.

“Across key health measures, women are no better off today than they were in the first year of the survey, which was conducted at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the 2024 Hologic Global Women’s Health Index report states.

“In some cases, their health is worse. Billions of women have physical or emotional health issues, aren’t getting tested for deadly diseases, or are struggling to afford food,” it added.

The study found that in 2022, measures of health like reporting physical pain and negative emotions were no better than in previous years. More women reported experiencing anger for “a lot of” the previous day in 2022, at 25 percent, compared to 23 percent who said the same two years earlier.

no better off today than they were in the first year of the survey

So we don't actually know if that was worse than before the pandemic?
