Women’s health has been underserved for far too long. From delayed diagnoses to limited treatment options, the gaps in research, funding, and Innovation have left millions of women suffering in silence. But change is coming—and it needs to be bold, transformative, and led by those who refuse to accept the status quo.
In a recent article published in FemTech World, Hope Khoury, COO of Go Vertical ICM, shared her personal battle with uterine fibroids—a condition that affects up to 80% of women by age 50, yet remains widely underfunded and overlooked in medical research. Her journey, from facing a life-threatening 18 cm fibroid at just 28 years old to becoming a fierce advocate for women’s health, is a powerful call to action.

The Reality of Women’s Healthcare: Why Incremental Change Isn’t Enough
For decades, women’s health has been under-prioritized—seen as a niche market rather than a global health imperative. Conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, menopause, and fibroids affect millions, yet they receive a fraction of the research funding compared to other medical fields.
🔴 Delayed Diagnoses: Many women wait years, even decades, for a proper diagnosis.
🔴 Limited Treatment Options: Many available treatments focus on symptom management rather than long-term solutions.
🔴 Lack of Representation in Research: Women have historically been excluded from clinical trials, leading to gaps in understanding female-specific health issues.
This is why incremental improvements aren’t enough. We don’t need small steps—we need a healthcare revolution.
Speaking Up and Supporting the Next Generation of Women
Hope Khoury’s story is more than just personal—it’s a movement. By sharing her experience, she is amplifying the voices of countless women who have been dismissed, ignored, or told that their pain is “just part of being a woman.”
Her mission is clear:
✔ To speak up—because silence only prolongs suffering.
✔ To mentor and support other women—so they don’t have to navigate this journey alone.
