Ensure the NIHR dedicates at least 3% of annual funding to menopause research

Petition Details

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.

Additional Information

We know that 25-30% of women have severe symptoms, which are estimated to cost the UK economy £191M a year according to an NHS Confederation report. We believe that a greater investment in research could reduce this, improve health span & cut costs to the NHS.
