The Report: Women's health and its connection to the economy

Did you know that women in Canada spend 24% more time in ill health compared to men? That's just one of the findings from The McKinsey Health Institute's report "Closing the women's health gap: Canada's $37 billion opportunity." Nam Kiwanuka speaks with one of the report's authors Marie-Renée B-Lajoie, a former ER doctor, about how addressing the gaps in women's health would benefit the economy and lead to better health outcomes for women.
