Recommendation 42

The renewed Women’s Heath Strategy should set out ambitions for increased research into menstrual health conditions, with specific targets and actions that will incentivise funders, industry and clinical academia to prioritise this area. Such research should focus on the root causes of conditions as well as improving diagnosis and treatment. The strategy should also consider the potential merits of dedicated research focused on adolescent girls. The Government should consider the merits of ring- fencing funding for women’s health research as part of the strategy. (Recommendation, Paragraph 164)
