Supporters say
- Canada needs a national approach to women's health, because gaps in care exist across the country, including in cancer care.
- about 31,000 were diagnosed this year, and one in eight women will face the disease.
- Lipedema, a serious condition affecting women, should be included in the national women's health strategy to address gaps in diagnosis and care.
