Abstract
Across the globe, health care is increasingly in the hands of corporate entities. Women's health is a vivid example of this trend. Private equity firms, start-ups, and other private-sector companies are streaming into women's health, appealing to its historical aims of equity, empowerment, and social justice, while also expecting big profits. As this industry expands, tensions between profitability, innovation, quality, and equity are already surfacing within the USA, signalling what other nations may soon encounter.
