My guest today, Melinda French Gates, opened a recent essay in the New York Times with an image I cannot shake.
matched
A hundred years ago, American women gave birth under Twilight Sleep, drugged unconscious, tied to the bed if they thrashed, no voice in the room, no memory of their own child being born.
matched
We shudder at that now, at the idea that women had no agency over their bodies at this incredibly important moment of their lives.
matched
And in her essay, Melinda asks a question I want us all to sit with.
matched
Will our granddaughters one day look back on how we treat menopause right now and feel exactly the same way?
matched
Nearly one in three women over the age of forty has menopause symptoms that are severe enough to disrupt her life.
matched
Only about one in four actually gets treated.
matched
The rate of women on hormone therapy, the most effective tool we have, has collapsed to under 5%.
matched
Fewer than a third of OBGYN training programs teach about menopause at all.
matched
And on top of that, McKinse found that for every dollar the world spends on medical research.
matched
Only five cents goes to women's health.
matched
In her essay, Melinda announced that she is giving two hundred and fifteen million dollars in new funding, including a major grant to train the clinicians who keep missing the menopause symptoms in their patients.
matched
That brings her total investment in women's health to more than $600 million in two years, with menopause and midlife a priority for the first time.
matched
I applaud every dollar of it.
matched
But I didn't ask her here today to walk through a press release.
