As the saying (sort of) goes: Hell hath no fury like a British woman scorned… by their healthcare system.
According to a new poll, women from the United Kingdom are among the angriest in Europe, with more than a fifth reporting feelings of rage.
The data was compiled by the Hologic Global Women's Health Index, the largest and most comprehensive global survey on women's health.
Its findings also note a decline in women’s emotional and physical health, and highlight ongoing inadequacies in female healthcare — something termed “medical misogyny” in a 2024 report by the Women and Equalities Committee (WEC).
Since February 2024, the women’s health score for the UK has fallen to its lowest levels going back to 2020, with the country now ranked 48th out of 143 countries.
