Abstract

It is clear that women with primary ovarian insufficiency are asking the health care community to alter the current standard, which requires the patient to seek a different specialist for each of her health care needs, and instead work as a team of caregivers that embraces each patient as a woman with complex and individual needs rather than as a disease process.
