Melinda French Gates Is Fighting to Close the Menopause Funding Gap
In this episode of unPAUSED, Dr. Mary Claire Haver sits down with Melinda French Gates, philanthropist and founder of Pivotal Ventures, an investment and philanthropic organization focused on advancing women's health and equity, to talk about the funding and advocacy push she recently announced for women's health and menopause care. Melinda opens with the statistics driving her urgency: nearly one in three women over forty has menopause symptoms severe enough to disrupt her life, only about one in four gets treated, and fewer than a third of OB GYN training programs teach about menopause at all. She recently announced two hundred fifteen million dollars in new funding for women's health and menopause research.
