Is women's health going backwards?

A landmark report out today shows Australian women’s health is declining across several key measures – including basic needs and emotional health. The Hologic Global Women’s Health Index is the world’s most comprehensive annual survey tracking women's health and wellbeing, covering 97% of the world’s adult population.

Now in its fifth year, the latest report shows women are facing mounting challenges and substantial setbacks, with concern several Australian outcomes are slipping over time, despite growing investment and conversation around women’s health.

In today’s deep dive, we’re talking through what these findings mean with health expert Aggie Cox.
