N2  -  Summary. In recent years, in light of the growing gaps in the economic and social conditions, the issue of inequalities has become increasingly topical. Each of the dimensions of the social inequalities (economic, geographic, educational, gender, health and life expectancy, ethnic and intergenerational) is linked to all the others, but there is no doubt that the lack of equality in health and access to treatment is one of the most important critical issues. In this context, the various forms of privation and discrimination affecting the female component of the population represent an important factor, to which the recent investment and planning lines following the pandemic crisis rightly dedicate some importance. The paper examines the state of the art of gender inequalities related to health and well-being, both the long-standing and the most recent ones, related to the coronavirus pandemic. At present, there is still a long way to go in order to achieve adequate levels of gender equality in the field of health and healthcare.
