Show Notes
Sanchia Alasia from Endometriosis UK shares her harrowing journey of being dismissed by doctors for over a decade, leading to her endometriosis diagnosis. The average wait for diagnosis is nine years four months, but for ethnically diverse women, its eleven years. Zaynah Ahmeds story echoes this struggle. Sixty-eight percent of those surveyed feel their ethnicity creates barriers, with assumptions from doctors exacerbating the issue. Endometriosis UK and Cysters are pushing for mandatory NHS training on racial bias. Leaders from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists urge government investment in hubs, staffing, and research for quicker tools and fairer care.
