Pr Claire Mounier-Vehier at Le Figaro's Big Bang Santé

81% of women look after their loved ones' health before their own.

Pr Claire Mounier-Vehier at Le Figaro's Big Bang Santé

Here's an extract from her speech.
"Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes develops actions around a common theme: Alert, Anticipate and Act. Alerting is what we do on this show, bringing knowledge closer to the French people. Anticipating means training healthcare professionals. We've been trained to deal with male symptoms. We need to rethink things and take women's specificities into account. Women are not men... And taking action is what we're doing with the #busducoeurdesfemmes. But if the screening we offer remains a one-shot affair, an hour and a half of conversations and then it's over, we've lost everything. It's absolutely essential that these women are put back on health paths."
