For Women, By Women: Dr. Summia’s Mission to Redefine Healthcare

Dr. Summia Samir Zaher, Chief Executive Officer of Women and Children’s Care at Global Patient Care, M42, opens up about her deeply personal journey into the world of women’s health and the systemic gaps she’s determined to change.

Coming from a family of doctors, her ambition was sparked early. But it was her discovery of a troubling truth that shaped her purpose: for decades, most medical research, training and clinical studies have been based on male patients, leaving female health vastly underrepresented. Even cadaver studies, she notes, have overwhelmingly focused on the male body forcing today’s medicine to play catch-up when it comes to understanding women’s physiology.

With passion and precision, Dr. Zaher shares what it means to lead for women, by women and how M42 is paving the way for evidence-based, gender-aware care that recognizes and responds to the needs of half the world’s population.
