Menopause impacts ALL of society

I would like to see the implementation of a national awareness program around the menopause and the peri menopause so that women can understand better the implication of the symptoms on their health and well-being. Coupled with some form of professional development training for GPs so they can assist women better in this area. My experience showed me that GP knowledge in this area is not at a level which ensures that NZ women receive the best care they can.

This is an important and growing area of hauora wariness which is undervalued and likely to be a hidden factor in economic impacts to our society.
