flag Women in Northern Ireland wait nearly a decade for endometriosis diagnosis due to systemic healthcare failures.

flag Women in Northern Ireland face delays of nearly a decade in receiving an endometriosis diagnosis, with patient advocates and MLAs citing widespread medical dismissal, chronic pain, and long-term impacts on employment and mental health. flag Despite new treatments and updated clinical guidance, systemic barriers persist, including limited access to specialists and long wait times, with over 54,000 women awaiting gynaecology care. flag Political leaders are calling for specialized services and improved support, while Health Minister Mike Nesbitt acknowledged the crisis but did not commit to cross-border collaboration, instead pledging to implement existing recommendations and publish a women’s health action plan without a set timeline.
