　　A senior executive at a pharmaceutical company focused on women’s health said the sector was chronically undervalued because the investment world is dominated by men. Susanne Fiedler, chief commercial officer of Merck spin-off Organon, said investors often assumed that women’s specific health needs were limited to reproductive health, whereas common autoimmune andcardiacconditions could hit women much harder, or in different ways.

　　一家专注于女性健康的制药公司的高管表示，由于投资界由男性为主导，女性健康行业长期遭到忽视。由默克公司剥离出来的欧加农的首席商务官苏珊娜·菲德勒说，投资者通常认为女性特有的健康需求仅限于生殖健康，然而还有一些常见的自身免疫病和心脏病对女性的影响更为严重，或者会以不同于男性的方式造成影响。

　　For decades after the Thalidomide scandal, women were excluded from clinical trialsin casethey were pregnant. In 1993, the US Congress passed a law mandating their inclusion, to ensure drugs were tested for their suitability for the whole population. But both scientific funding bodies and venture capitalists have underinvested in women’s health. Organon is the first pharmaceutical company of a significant size to focus on the area.

　　在沙利度胺丑闻发生后的几十年里，为防止孕期妇女参与其中，女性被排除在临床试验之外。（译者注：1960年前后，沙利度胺作为一种镇静催眠类药物上市，随后欧洲各国不断涌现母亲孕期服用沙利度胺出现新生儿海豹肢畸形的情况。）1993年，美国国会通过了一项法律，要求将女性纳入其中，以确保对所有人进行药物适用性测试。但是，科学资助机构和风险投资者对女性健康的投资都不足。欧加农是第一家专注于该领域的大型制药公司。

　　The lack of attention to women’s health means there has been little innovation in treatments for unwanted pregnancies and for problems that can be verydebilitating, such asendometriosis— which causes severe period pain — and symptoms ofmenopause.

　　All three conditions can hit a woman’s ability to participate in the workforce. The US campaign Women’s Health Matters estimates that a $300mn investment in women’s health research could yield a $13bn return in reduced healthcare costs and improved productivity. Fiedler said it was a “no brainer” for governments to invest in women’s health because of the “positive economic impact”, pointing to the women’s health strategy of the UK’s NHS, and the French government’s strategy for endometriosis.

　　这三种疾病都会影响女性参加工作的能力。美国“女性健康问题”运动估计，在女性健康研究领域投资3亿美元，可以在降低医疗成本和提高生产率方面产生130亿美元的回报。费德勒说，由于“积极的经济影响”，政府投资妇女健康领域是“理所应当”的，他还指出英国国家医疗服务体系设立了妇女健康战略，以及法国政府设立了子宫内膜异位症战略。

　　In the UK, increasing awareness of hormone replacement therapy to ease the symptoms of the menopause has led to soaring demand in the past couple of years. Organon has expanded its production of HRT (hormone replacement therapy) treatments. Early-stage investors are beginning to recognise the opportunity in women’s health, especially digital innovations such as fertility-tracking devices. Funding rose more than tenfold to $1.4bn in 2022, from $124mn in 2017, according to digital health fund Rock Health.

　　在英国，越来越多的人意识到激素替代疗法可以缓解更年期症状，使得过去几年这类业务需求量飙升。欧加农已经扩大了激素替代疗法的产量。早期投资者开始认识到女性健康领域的机遇，尤其是生育能力跟踪设备等数字创新产品。数字健康基金“岩石健康”的数据显示，在这方面的投资从2017年的1.24亿美元增长了10多倍，到2022年达到了14亿美元。
