In France, Health Minister Stéphanie Rist announced new healthcare measures to support women experiencing menopause during the Assises de la ménopause. These initiatives follow recommendations from a mission commissioned by Emmanuel Macron.

The measures include reinforcing the ‘Mon Bilan Prévention’ system to provide health consultations for individuals aged 45 to 50, introducing ‘long menopause consultations,’ and increasing the role of midwives. Additionally, the government plans to disseminate new recommendations from the Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) to healthcare providers. Minister Rist noted the importance of creating a more organized care pathway to assist the more than 17 million women in France affected by the condition.
