✨ English talk: The Ripple Effect: One Woman's Journey to Empower Thousands
💜 One of the "Break The Pattern" themed sessions at International Women's Day on March 28, 2026
How can one woman's vision transform the health and livelihoods of thousands? 🌟
Dr. Choi will share her incredible journey from completing her postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School to revolutionizing women’s health in Asia.
🩸 Redefining Healthcare: In January 2025, WomenX launched PadX-HPV, a groundbreaking sanitary pad that detects HPV directly from menstrual blood with a 99.2% accuracy rate. By removing cultural barriers and the need for invasive tests, Dr. Choi is on a mission to increase HPV screening rates in Asia from 30% to an ambitious 80%.
🤝 Creating Deep Social Impact: Dr. Choi’s vision goes far beyond biotechnology. This year, she is rolling out 100 sanitary pad vending machines across Hong Kong schools, malls, and NGOs. Not only does this promote menstrual health education and a gender-friendly environment, but the project is also creating thousands of flexible job opportunities for low-income and single mothers.
Recognized as Prestige Women of Power 2025, Jessica Most Successful Women, and a top-tier winner at the global Slingshot biomed competition, Dr. Choi is the true embodiment of innovation meeting empathy.
Don't miss the chance to hear how she is empowering women to understand their bodies and regain economic independence!
