Spain triples spending on women’s health

Spain is investing 18 million euros a year, or almost $21 million, in women’s health initiatives. Femtech Spain notes that the plan triples public funding for clinical research into long-overlooked issues such as menopause, endometriosis and reproductive health. “Spain isn’t the biggest market in Europe,” Femtech Spain writes, “but it’s doing something the bigger ones haven’t: Treating women’s health as a coordinated R&D priority, with a named budget and institutional architecture behind it.” The announcement was made during the launch of a new program called “We Are. We Count: Ending discrimination against women in health research.”
