| Sumario: | Background: Women with intellectual disabilities face major barriers to healthcare access. This study explored the experiences of 120 women with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities in Chile and their interactions with healthcare systems. Method: A qualitative design was used, collecting data through semi‐structured interviews to examine communication challenges, discrimination and unmet support needs. Results: Participants reported difficulties understanding medical terminology, limited time for questions and a lack of visual aids. They also experienced discrimination, including infantilization and negative provider attitudes, which undermined their autonomy. The absence of tailored support, such as simplified materials and personalized guidance, further hindered their engagement with healthcare services. Conclusions: Findings highlighted systemic inequities influenced by gender and disability biases. Participants stressed the need for inclusive provider training and accessible communication tools. Recommendations included visual aids, specialized healthcare navigation support, and inclusive health education programs to improve equitable healthcare access. Summary: Women with intellectual disabilities have trouble getting good healthcare.The study looked at the experiences of 120 women in Chile and the problems they faced.The biggest problems were hard‐to‐understand medical language, discrimination and lack of support. Doctors used complicated words, did not give enough time for questions, and did not always treat women with respect.Healthcare should be easier to understand and more inclusive. Doctors and nurses need training, medical information should use simple words and pictures, and women should get more support to understand their health.Fixing these problems will help women get better healthcare and be treated with respect. Everyone deserves clear, fair and supportive medical care.
