Women's health

What it is

Women's health covers conditions that affect women only, differently, or more often: reproductive and maternal care, menopause, autoimmune disease, migraine, osteoporosis, and the heart disease that is diagnosed later in women than in men. The field's recurring story is under-research, since women were routinely excluded from trials until the 1990s and sex differences are still under-reported. Coverage here also tracks access to maternity services, contraception and abortion policy, and the growing 'femtech' and supplement market.
