Dorothee Bär kræver mere forskning på kvinders kroppe

Forskningsminister Dorothee Bär kræver flere undersøgelser af kvinders kroppe og siger, at kvinder er maksimalt underforsket. Mange undersøgelser foretages primært på mænd, hvilket fører til negative konsekvenser for kvinders sundhed. I et interview forklarer hun, hvor hun vil gribe ind, og hvorfor det også påvirker nationaløkonomien.

Forskningsminister Dorothee Bär understregede i et interview, at kvinder er stærkt underrepræsenteret i medicinsk forskning. „Kvinder er maksimalt underforsket,“ sagde hun. Mange studier foretages primært på mænd, hvilket har konsekvenser for kvinders sundhed. Dette skal ændres for at forbedre sundhedsvæsenet og patientforsorgen. Bær understregede, at det er nødvendigt at forbedre sundhedsvæsenet. Bär, der er ansvarlig for digitale anliggender, transport og forskning, forklarede, at hun vil gribe ind her for at lukke hullerne. Hun fremhævede, at underforskningen ikke kun har medicinske, men også økonomiske konsekvenser for nationaløkonomien. Intervuet beskrev specifikke tiltag og understregede behovet for kønspecifikke forskningspraksisser. Dette krav kommer midt i løbende debatter om ligestilling i videnskaben. Bär understreger hermed vigtigheden af inkluderende forskningspraksisser.
