Then, the Councilor for the Right to Health Enzo Battarra. “There are no diseases, but there are sick people. Gender medicine – highlighted the councilor – is a medicine attentive to the differences that are evident, from how the same disease is also interpreted by a male patient compared to a female one. It is right that there should be gender medicine, and it is right to study the subject further, underline the differences and give assistance in a reasoned way to the needs of each individual person”.
