Dr. Shahin Ghadir was recently quoted in an article written by Sorina Mihaila for Femtech World titled “‘Deeply concerning’: experts react to ‘shocking’ women’s health report.”

According to the article, a new report from the Commonwealth Fund found that growing inequalities across the United States are putting women’s health “under threat,” causing higher cancer rates and preventable deaths. The report, which ranks states based on 32 indicators, ranging from insurance coverage to breast and cervical cancer to Covid-19, found that south-eastern states ranked at the bottom on a wide range of women’s health indicators. The “shocking” findings, experts have said, highlight that the healthcare system needs to change.

Dr. Shahin Ghadir, a board certified reproductive endocrinologist and fertility expert at HRC Fertility Beverly Hills, said it is important that women who live in poor performing states do their research and are extra careful on the quality of the physician and the hospital they choose.

“Being proactive about women’s healthcare is one of the most important aspects of receiving good care in our country, and even if a patient is not in a state that has the utmost highest standards of care, there are still good physicians everywhere.”
