Femmes : les oubliées de la santé - on France 5, Tuesday, April 20 at 8:50 p.m.

Pr Claire Mounier-Vehier invites you to join her on France 5 this Tuesday, April 20 at 8:50 pm in the documentary "Femmes : les oubliées de la santé" (Women: the forgotten health care professionals) directed by Véronique Preault.
