Although in recent years we have seen a positive improvement and greater awareness around the unique challenges that women face in today’s world, there is still a lot of work to be done.
Statistics show that amongst many other social, mental and physical health challenges, women are more likely to be diagnosed with particular diseases or disorders including depression, anxiety and other stress related conditions.
When it comes to cancer, being a woman alone is the greatest risk factor for developing breast cancer, a disease which affects so many of our sisters, daughters, mothers, colleagues and friends worldwide. And a topic that we should all develop greater awareness around.
According to the new International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), female breast cancer has become the most commonly diagnosed cancer type in the world, with 2.3 million cases diagnosed in 2020, surpassing lung cancer for the first time. Breast cancer now accounts for 11.7% of all new cancer cases in both sexes, overtaking lung cancer in terms of number of new cancer cases worldwide.
While October is recognized as 'Breast Cancer Awareness Month,' it is a time annually devoted to raise awareness for breast cancer and emphasize the importance of early detection. Many medical organizations have also initiated various campaigns to focus on women’s healthcare education.
Dr. Kathy Shi, one of the most sought-after cardiologists in Shanghai, and founder of SinoUnited Health, identifies with the Mayo Clinic, one of the top ranked medical institutions in the World, in clinic philosophy. She and her team are committed to providing excellent medical services for clients around the world, as well as a partnership for creating a healthy lifestyle for all.
With a mission of holistic healthcare to women, SinoUnited Women’s Health Center has established a leading multidisciplinary medical team, aiming to provide comprehensive medical services for women of all ages and stages of life.
Through close collaborations between general practitioners and specialists of all areas, the Women’s Health Center provides personalized services in all facets of women’s health and wellness, including gynecology, breast health, cervical diseases, menopause, rehabilitation, sexual health, mental health and more.

The partnership enables the integration of international experience and domestic innovation, together for the health benefits and well-being of women.
