Thousands of women harmed after health concerns dismissed as ‘women’s problems’, says review

A highly critical review into some of the biggest health scandals in the last decades has found thousands of women were needlessly harmed because of the arrogance of the medical establishment.

An inquiry into the use of pelvic meshes, hormonal pregnancy tests and a drug that harmed unborn babies found a culture of dismissing women’s legitimate concerns.

Instead patients were routinely told they had psychological issues.
