International Day of Women and Girls in Science
At At Orleans Family Health Clinic in Ottawa, we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a special opportunity to acknowledge the countless contributions women have made to medicine, public health, research, and patient care.
A powerful Canadian example is Dr. Elizabeth Bagshaw, one of the country’s first female physicians. Despite facing societal barriers and personal challenges early in her career, she devoted over seven decades to improving women’s health, delivered thousands of babies, and led Canada’s first birth control clinic — work that laid important groundwork for reproductive health and equity in care. Her contributions continue to influence how healthcare is delivered and how women’s health needs are understood today.
Women scientists and clinicians help drive advancements in diagnostics, treatment protocols, and preventative health strategies that touch the lives of families every day. Recognizing their impact reminds us that health outcomes improve when the scientific community reflects the diversity of the people it serves.
