Rehabilitation and Women’s Health: Global Challenges and Opportunities | Fary Khan at #ISPRM25

Professor Fary Khan, Director of Rehabilitation at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and President-Elect of ISPRM, delivers a landmark keynote on the overlooked yet critical intersection between rehabilitation medicine and women’s health.

In this lecture, Prof. Khan addresses:

• Global health inequities affecting women: from access to care and gender bias to stigma and literacy gaps.
• A life course strategy that identifies risks and needs at different life stages.
• Practical interventions and policy strategies—highlighting a model adopted in Australia.
• The importance of embedding women’s health across all ISPRM task forces.
• How to collaborate globally, including with the International Society of Gender Medicine and the World Rehabilitation Alliance.

This is a powerful call to action for professionals and policymakers to prioritize women’s health within the rehabilitation agenda.
