I'm happy that you asked me that question.
Funding is really a major issue. There are inequalities at the provincial level. I practise in Quebec, where I've set up private clinics that I fund out of my own income to try to make them accessible. I would have liked to receive grants to make things more affordable for women.
I've also established multidisciplinary work teams, giving nurses and nurse practitioners the scope to practise, as mentioned. I believe that we need to team up with a variety of health care professionals. For women to regain their power to make decisions on their health and hormonal health, we must inform them, listen to them and hear them. However, a great deal of educational work remains to be done.
I run an educational platform on hormonal health. I've published two books and I'm trying to spread the word. However, some recommendations also limit the ability of our health care professionals to become more open to the reality on the ground and to what women are actually experiencing. We need to get back to this. We need to carry out proper clinical assessments and not just follow restrictive recommendations that make care inaccessible to many women.
