The Ministry of Health announced on Friday the launch of a parliamentary mission on menopause, on the occasion of the world day dedicated to this physiological phenomenon which concerns 14 million women in France.
The Head of State Emmanuel Macron said he was in favor in May of such a mission on this “taboo” of society, in order to draw up “an inventory of the care (…)(treatments, support , osteoporosis, cardio and psychological follow-ups) and the difficulties encountered by women in terms of information and follow-up”.
The mission is entrusted by Prime Minister Michel Barnier to Macronist MP Stéphanie Rist, member of the Assembly’s Social Affairs Committee, indicates the Ministry of Health in a press release.
It will have to respond to “three main issues”: “highlight the symptoms and consequences of menopause on the daily life and physical and mental health of women”, while “87% of menopausal women present at least one symptom of the menopause in addition to the cessation of periods”; “strengthen the preventive approach”; “to enlighten the government on the current health care of menopause”, continues the ministry.
The proposals that will be drawn from this mission which will be “carried out by involving all stakeholders, in particular the National College of French gynecologists and obstetricians”, are expected in spring 2025, specifies the press release.
