Menopause affects all women/people born with ovaries who live long enough. It has a considerable effect on long term health, the economy & quality of life, yet in April 2022-April 23 just 0.3% of NIHR's £1.25bn budget was spent on menopause research (6/852 studies). We believe this needs to change.
