HIGHLIGHTS
- International Women’s Day 2025 was all about accelerating action. Healthcare is one of the few industries that prides itself in employing more women.
- Yet, gender disparity exists in the healthcare industry. Women leaders analyze the causes.
- Not all hope is lost for women though. By self-championing, mentoring, and supporting one another, women can collectively rise against gender disparity and unlock change.
Women in healthcare
Healthcare is one of the few industries that pride themselves in employing more women.
More than three-fourth of the healthcare workforce is women. Yet, only about 40% of healthcare organizations can vouch that their women leaders have a seat on their boards. We talked to a few prominent women leaders in the life sciences and healthcare sector about the existing disparities and ways to bridge the gap.
Causes of disparity
There are multiple causes for women not rising up the ladder in the healthcare industry.
From lack of sponsors to physiological and psychological factors such as childbirth, menopause, and the too frequent qualifiers, there are umpteen barriers for women in their career progression journey.
Empowerment measures
Awareness, change in mindset, acceptance, and progress are in sight.
There is wider acceptance of diverse perspectives and leadership styles. Making opportunities equitable, ensuring women have role models to emulate and sponsors to support, having women-friendly policies, and facilitating their upskilling can all help women in moving from middle management to the executive leadership levels. However, these being human driven, there is dependency, and biases also creep in. Technology can eliminate bias, help scale and accelerate ongoing empowering efforts and interventions. Clinical documentation is one area where AI can enable the workforce to avoid burnout.
In pharma companies, diversity is consciously being enforced in clinical trials, to ensure women health issues get due attention and therapies. Data is the backbone of all such women-focused studies, and data diversity is important to drive women empowerment.
Bringing one’s own authentic self to work, stepping beyond one’s comfort zone, self-love, and leveraging data to combat bias were the words of wisdom from our women leadership panel for the larger population of women in the life sciences and the healthcare industries.
Watch this interesting video to get more insights on women empowerment in the healthcare industry.
