Meuhedet, a health fund, has launched "Kashuva," a new content platform specifically designed for Haredi women, offering professional and tailored medical information.

In its first week, the platform garnered tens of thousands of listening minutes, indicating a strong need for such a resource. The initiative aims to address knowledge gaps and low awareness regarding various medical issues within the Haredi community, which can lead to delayed medical examinations and late diagnoses, sometimes resulting in severe or life-threatening conditions.

The "Kashuva" platform provides accessible medical knowledge, encouraging early medical consultation and aiding in the prevention of serious health problems and saving lives. It is the first of its kind, tailored to the needs and lifestyle of Haredi women, offering content through a dedicated phone line, website, or email.

The content covers physical and mental health, pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, preventive medicine, and other women's health topics throughout their lives. It features contributions from Meuhedet's top female professionals and experts, blending medical knowledge with relatable experiences and stories in an accessible language.

Weekly new content will be released, along with Q&A sessions with medical experts, allowing women to ask questions and receive professional answers. This initiative seeks to broaden women's medical knowledge and promote health maintenance across all life stages.

Mushki Brod, Director of Marketing Communications for the Haredi Sector at Meuhedet, stated that "Kashuva" was born from a recognized need to provide essential medical information to women who often delay seeking help until conditions worsen. She emphasized that increased awareness and timely consultation significantly improve the chances of early diagnosis and prevention of severe health issues, potentially saving lives.

Meuhedet plans to continue developing "Kashuva" with more content and expert sessions, reinforcing its commitment to proactive and innovative healthcare tailored to the Haredi sector.
