Chasing Life with Dr. Sanjay Gupta · Melinda French Gates Is Taking on the Women’s Health Gap. Here’s How · 5 Jun 2026 podcast

And, um,

And so I don't know, I can't say for everybody, but for me, after getting through the very painful time of it, it's been a gigantic opening in life.

And yeah, I'm just happy now on the other side.

I want to say to women around the world that the right care at the right time makes a difference and we deserve better than our health systems are doing now.

And if we all raise our voices and we make investments and we talk to others and get others educated, we can change the system for even the better.

It's doing okay, but it should be doing excellent for women.

Thanks for having me, Sanjay.

I've enjoyed this.

The Tamsen Show · Melinda French Gates: Inside Her $600 Million Mission for Women's Health · 4 Jun 2026 podcast

So glad to be here again.

Well, today I'm doubling down on the work that I've already been doing in reproductive health in those years that a woman goes through.

But now I'm adding on that other transition in life that all women go through, which is menopause.

And I want to make sure that we have the right care and the right research so that women can go through that transition well also, not just the reproductive years.

It does.

So the Welcome Leap announcement really is about trying to find the first piece of it.

There will be more later, but the first piece is really trying to figure out how can we help women with their cardiac health.

Because again, so often women go into the system and they come out or they even have a heart attack.

50% of them are misdiagnosed.

So we need to be making investments at every stage of women's life, whether it's the reproductive years when they first enter them or if they're having a child or they decide not to have a child, that's fine.

But then also these later years, we live fulsome lives as women.

And if we want to step into our full power, we want to be healthy at every step of the way.
