Private healthcare that dodges medical misogyny

I'm thinking about changing my healthcare provider. I've been looking into it and an issue that keeps coming up in the negative patient experiences, that isn't accounted for in the more comprehensive service reviews, for example by Which?, is medical misogyny. Given how rampant medical misogyny is - if you're brave take a look at the Fawcett Society's work on the gender health gap https://www.fawcettsociety.org.uk/the-gender-health-gap-our-stories - it seems obvious that this is one of the issues private healthcare can address i.e., providing care to women to a same standard as is given to men. But trying to find that is producing a complete blank. Interested to hear if anyone has found a health provider/insurer that has it in hand - and also thoughts on who to avoid?!
