French Parliamentary Report Calls for Overhaul of Menopause Care

A newly released report outlines 25 recommendations to address healthcare gaps, improve education, and reduce inequalities for 17 million French women experiencing menopause.

The 500-page report, officially delivered to the Minister of Health on April 9, 2025, identifies systemic failures in menopause care across France.
It highlights the urgent need to address social and territorial disparities and improve professional training for healthcare providers.
Recommendations include introducing menopause education in schools to combat taboos and improve societal understanding.
The report emphasizes the economic impact of inadequate care and calls on employers to adapt workplace conditions for menopausal women.
Based on testimonies from over 2,100 women, the report reveals widespread feelings of isolation and inadequate medical guidance during menopause.
