🇯🇵 Japan, with the world's fastest ageing population, has been updating its healthcare insurance system to maintain equitable access. Japan has a universal healthcare system. Individuals pay premiums based on income and cover 30% of medical costs, ensuring healthcare access for all. However, as the country's population continues to age, national healthcare expenditures have been rising steadily as well. Along with a priority for digitisation, the Japanese government has been updating its healthcare insurance system to maintain equitable access to healthcare services such as the postponement of raising the “high-cost medical expense benefit” capwhih helps prevent excessive financial strain on individuals by setting a monthly cap on medical expenses based on age and income. Any excess is reimbursed. https://lnkd.in/eCRX_zqt #femtechassociationasia #femtech #womenshealth #healthyaging #inclusivehealth #digitalhealth #expenses #medicalexpenses

We welcome MenSC Labs to our vibrant community of Femtech leaders, enthusiasts, and experts! The MenSC team is dedicated to making stem cell therapy more accessible for everyone through a surprising source of stem cells - menstrual blood. An abundant, non-invasive and affordable source, menstrual blood has shown promise as an alternative source to bone marrow, adipose tissue and umbilical cord. But the research is still growing and new - without a stable supply of menstrual blood for researchers to advance innovation, it will be a very long time before menstrual blood becomes an FDA-approved source of stem cells. That’s why MenSC Labs is here to bridge the gap - they offer an end-to-end solution for the collection, transportation, analysing and preparation of menstrual blood-derived stem cells for researchers, hospitals and stem cell product manufacturers. MenSC Labs is conducting a pilot study in August with a target goal of 30 samples - it would mean a lot if you can help them to reach this goal. With your sample, they will be able to get some initial results that would go a long way in helping us begin our initial tests. Drop your details here: at https://lnkd.in/gig3eKFT and they will reach out to you once their study begins! If you are unable to donate or would like to contribute in any other way, simply connect via the same form - https://lnkd.in/gig3eKFT. There’s a long way to go before menstrual blood-derived stem cells can be used for treatment. Let’s get there together, one sample at a time.

Women and children are the hardest hit by crises—they account for more than 75 percent of those displaced by conflicts and disasters, and girls are 2.5 times more likely to miss school during conflict than boys. When crises strike—whether war, climate disasters, disease outbreaks or more insidious crises, like discrimination—they are the first to suffer and can be the last to receive support. This sets off a chain reaction: communities unravel, economies weaken and security declines. Women are more vulnerable to the consequences of the climate change. Air pollution puts women at higher risk for breast cancer, asthma and heart disease. Expectant mothers exposed to pollution are also more likely to experience complications like stillbirth, miscarriage and postpartum depression.
