UK gynecological care crisis: why thousands of women are suffering

If all the women waiting for a gynecology appointment on the NHS in Britain were to queue, they would stretch from London to Exeter.

This is according to a report from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (RCOG), which found that around 750,000 women in the four countries are waiting for an NHS appointment – ​​a number that has more than doubled since February 2020, according to the BBC. And the actual number “could be significantly more”; these are only women who have already been referred by a GP.
