    Dr Sandra Isibor On Black Women’s Health, Postpartum Care & Medical Negligence

    Send us a text Dr Sandra Isibor On Black Women’s Health and Postpartum Care.  In this first episode of In Her Space Podcast, host Ivy Ekong speaks with Dr Sandra Isibor. We dive into the systemic disparities Black women face in healthcare, particularly around maternal and postpartum care.  Dr. Isibor graduated from Leicester Medical School and completed her GP training in Derby in 2018. She’s a certified Lifestyle Medicine Physician with a postgraduate diploma in Obesity and Weight Management. Her work emphasizes empowering individuals and communities to adopt healthier lifestyles. Additionally, she’s been actively involved in national health campaigns, advocating for improved healthcare access for ethnic minorities.” Despite advancements in medicine, Black women are still three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women, regardless of income or education level. The conversation will explore how medical bias, delayed diagnoses, and dismissive attitudes contribute to these outcomes. In this first episode of In Her Space Podcast, Ivy Ekong, speaks with Dr Sandra Isibor to discuss the emotional and mental toll of childbirth, how postpartum depression is often overlooked in Black communities, and the lack of culturally sensitive care. Are Black women being heard when they say they’re in pain? Are their lives taken less seriously in medical spaces? And what role does society, community support, and even celebrity voices (like Serena Williams and Beyoncé, who’ve shared their own traumatic birth experiences) play in highlighting and addressing this crisis? This episode gives medical insights about high blood pressure, depression , fibroid, anxiety in women and many more. It amplifies real-life stories, and open up a critical dialogue about change, advocacy, and survival.
