Servicewomen and veterans would get more research and better care for menopause and mid-life health.
Servicewomen and veterans would get more focused research and improved care for menopause and mid-life health issues. This bill would require the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs to evaluate existing research, find gaps, and create a plan to improve treatments and training for healthcare providers. This means better support for those serving and who have served.
Today, there is no specific law requiring the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs to coordinate an evaluation of menopause and mid-life women's health research for servicewomen and veterans, nor to develop a strategic plan. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs would be required to conduct a full evaluation of existing research. They would also pinpoint specific gaps in knowledge and treatment, and submit a report to Congress within 180 days. This report would include a strategic plan to address these gaps and suggest improvements for professional training resources.
