US President Joe Biden wants to improve research into women’s health and close research gaps. He will sign an executive order on Monday requiring his agencies to prioritize research on women’s health, the White House said.
In concrete terms, this concerns improving the data situation and better research into female-specific diseases and symptoms, such as endometriosis or menopause. According to the information, this also includes diseases in which men and women have different complaints, but this is often not taken into account, for example in cardiovascular disease. There is also a need for action in research into diseases that more commonly affect women, such as rheumatism or Alzheimer’s disease.
It is “long past time to ensure women get the answers they need when it comes to their health,” the White House said. Experts have long been calling for more female-specific research in medicine. (rbu/sda/dpa)
