Description: Women experience unique hematologic health challenges throughout every stage of life, yet many remain underrecognized, underdiagnosed and underserved. In this special episode of the ISTH Pulse Podcast, host Julia Sandrin Gauer is joined by Bethany Samuelson-Bannow, Lan-Lan Smith and Maureen Achebe to discuss the launch of The Lancet Haematology Commission on Global Female Health and Haematology, released in conjunction with the Special Session at the ISTH 2026 Congress in Paris titled, "Periods, Pregnancy, Post-menopause and Poverty: The Lancet Haematology Commission on Global Female Health and Haematology." Listen as they explore why this landmark Commission was needed, the biological, social and structural factors shaping women's hematologic health, and the global inequities that continue to impact care. The conversation spans the female lifespan—from menstruation and pregnancy to menopause—while addressing topics including heavy menstrual bleeding, bleeding disorder diagnosis, pregnancy-associated thrombosis, postpartum hemorrhage, hormonal therapy-related thrombosis, maternal mortality disparities and the role of poverty and other social determinants of health.
