At the EGA Institute for Women’s Health, we are dedicated to advancing women’s health, both in the reproductive sense and more broadly. Our research recognises that women’s experiences of major diseases like cardiovascular disease and cancer often differ from men’s, and we are committed to addressing these differences through innovative, inclusive science.
Study
We offer undergraduate and postgraduate courses designed to equip the next generation of healthcare professionals with the skills and knowledge to lead in women’s health.
