French Government Initiates Parliamentary Inquiry into Menopause

The mission, led by MP Stéphanie Rist, aims to address key challenges in menopause care and awareness for 14 million women.

The mission was announced on World Menopause Day, highlighting the societal importance of the issue.
President Emmanuel Macron supports this initiative to tackle the societal taboo surrounding menopause.
The inquiry will focus on symptoms, preventive approaches, and current healthcare practices.
France's Ministry of Health reports that 87% of menopausal women experience symptoms beyond the cessation of menstruation.
The mission will involve key stakeholders, including the National College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians, with findings expected by spring 2025.
