France Expands Endometriosis Initiatives with Saliva-Based Diagnostic Test and Awareness Campaigns

The government broadens access to the Endotest, launches school education programs, and plans new expert centers to address widespread diagnostic delays and improve care.

The French government has expanded the Endotest pilot program to 100 centers, with plans to test 25,000 women as part of a large-scale evaluation of its effectiveness.
A decree formalizing the expansion of Endotest access is set to be issued in early April, allowing more women with complex cases to benefit from the saliva-based diagnostic tool.
Educational campaigns will be launched in schools nationwide to raise awareness about endometriosis and promote early diagnosis among young people.
Healthcare professionals across France will receive specialized training to improve diagnosis and management of endometriosis, with prevention tied to professional performance incentives.
The government plans to establish and label new expert surgical centers for endometriosis by 2026 to address gaps in specialized care and improve treatment accessibility.
