Women's pain often dismissed in NHS, Welsh health minister says
At a summit in Wales, health minister Delyth Jewell said women's pain is too often dismissed, and she wants rules to strengthen women's voices in healthcare design. Patient Donna Davies shared how her severe pain from a medical device was only believed when her husband spoke up. She needs major surgery now and highlighted a lack of specialist services for women in Wales.
