About the event
Where and how do we find reliable and accurate health information today? Many people search online for explanations of symptoms, seek information about menstrual pain, look for advice on sexual health, or try to understand why women often experience different symptoms than men despite having the same diagnosis. At the same time, quality-assured information on women’s health remains fragmented, incomplete, or difficult to access.
To address this need, the Women’s Health Portal (kvinnehelse.no) is currently being developed as a national digital knowledge platform. The portal aims to provide women, family members, researchers, and healthcare professionals with reliable, evidence-based information on women’s health.
The event will be livestreamed.
