As part of the 7th edition of our initiative, we set out across Poland with our mobile gynaecological clinic, visiting smaller academic towns. This year, we focused in particular on the needs of neurodivergent women and those who experience sensory or emotional challenges that can affect the quality and comfort of a gynaecological visit. All this is reflected in the campaign’s guiding message: “Without Exception”.

In this edition of In Women’s Interest, we aimed to empower patients by emphasising that their experience of a medical appointment does not depend solely on the doctor or midwife. Women can, and should, clearly communicate their needs, both in terms of interpersonal contact and preferences related to their individual sensitivities, such as touch.

Why did this year’s campaign place a particular emphasis on neurodivergent women? Data shows that they represent a growing proportion of students and young women, and these numbers are expected to continue rising.* Neurodivergent individuals are often characterised by heightened sensitivity, which can pose additional challenges, including in the context of gynaecological prevention. Research conducted for the purpose of the campaign** indicates that such women may avoid or postpone visits to the gynaecologist, and may be particularly affected by sensory overload or unfriendly interactions at reception desks.

That is why, in our mobile clinic for the 2025 edition, priority was given to an empathetic and supportive approach from medical professionals, as well as to the physical and psychological comfort of patients. The clinic was equipped with solutions designed to reduce stress and support the nervous system by minimising sensory stimuli. The Ginobus visited seven cities across Poland and attracted significant interest. Some 360 women took advantage of the free examinations.
