Melinda French Gates pledges $215M for women's health and menopause research

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Melinda French Gates has launched a new initiative focused on women's health, pledging $215 million to improve access to contraception, maternal care, and research into menopause. This funding, channeled through her organization Pivotal, brings her total donations for women's health to over $600 million in the past two years. The initiative aims to address the significant underfunding of women's health issues, which receive only 2% of private healthcare funds, by shining a light on these areas to attract further donor and government support.
