Women Deserve Better Healthcare

Here’s How to Get It

It’s 2025—so why are women still struggling to get the healthcare they need? From reproductive health to mental well-being, women worldwide face gaps in coverage, affordability issues, and systemic challenges. But here’s the good news: change is possible.

This International Women’s Month, let’s talk about how women can take control of their health, access better medical care, and secure the right insurance—because quality healthcare isn’t a privilege. It’s a right.

1. Prioritize Preventive Care

Women are often caregivers—but when was the last time you took care of yourself? Preventive care, like annual check-ups, screenings, and vaccinations, is your first line of defense against serious health conditions.

Must-Have Screenings for Women:
  • Pap Smear & HPV Test – Prevent cervical cancer
  • Mammogram – Detect breast cancer early
  • Bone Density Test – Protect against osteoporosis
  • Heart Health Check-Up – Women are at higher risk for heart disease than they think!

Did you know? Some International Private Medical Insurance (IPMI) plans cover preventive screenings at no extra cost.

2. Reproductive Health: More Than Just Family Planning

Women’s health isn’t just about pregnancy—it’s about hormonal health, menopause management, fertility options, and more.

  • Need contraception options? Make sure your health insurance covers reproductive care.
  • Thinking about fertility treatments? IVF and egg freezing are included in some premium medical plans.
  • Experiencing perimenopause symptoms? Hormonal therapies and wellness support should be part of your healthcare plan.

Pro Tip: In some countries, reproductive healthcare isn’t easily accessible. If you’re an expat or frequent traveler, check out international health insurance plans that cover women’s health globally.

3. Mental Health Isn’t a Luxury—It’s a Necessity

Women juggle careers, families, responsibilities—and stress levels are at an all-time high. Anxiety, burnout, and depression are real, but too many women delay seeking help.

What to Look for in a Mental Health Plan:
  • Coverage for therapy and counseling (both online and in-person)
  • Access to psychiatric care and medication
  • Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) for stress management
