Support Women's Health — WHO Foundation Menopause Campaign
Every woman goes through menopause. Every single one
Your donation gives urgent, lifesaving care to Gaza’s mothers and children in their moment of greatest need.
Every moment matters, and every donation can save lives.
Every woman deserves access to the care and services they need to live healthier lives. To make that happen, health care providers and budget-holders need to be more aware of the experiences of women and the evidence-base to respond to their needs. This work will close the current gaps in evidence, care and policy related to menopause.
A clear evidence-base, informed by women's experiences, can shape the global response to menopause.
The gap in medical training gets filled. Menopause becomes part of what every health care provider learns, not an afterthought.
Our guidelines help countries, including ministries of health, healthcare professionals, and patient organizations, develop policies and put into practice the approaches that best fit their local context.
Your donation supports WHO and the Human Reproduction Programme (HRP) in generating and reviewing the evidence, providing recommendations, setting the norms, supporting countries to adopt and implement the guidelines, training health workers, and funding education and awareness efforts to reduce stigma — so that every woman knows what care she is entitled to.
WHO's Response
Why this work matters now
The gap is experienced everywhere — only the setting changes.
Women in the world are all different, but every single one goes through menopause.. Every woman deserves access to the services that will help them sleep, work, and manage their lives. To help clinicians, doctors, and health workers support them, we need evidence. HRP and WHO will build that.

The evidence-base for women living outside of high-income settings is severely lacking.
A woman in Nairobi, Dhaka, or Mexico City going through menopause has almost no clinical research that reflects her experience. The science was built elsewhere, for someone else. She is navigating one of the most significant transitions of her life without an understanding of her context.
For many women, this transition comes at the same time as caregiving and domestic responsibilities and, for many, professional work-related responsibilities. These demands and burdens add up and support is needed.
Sweden has guidelines. Most countries do not.
In Sweden, a woman can express symptoms and her health care provider has national guidelines to follow. In most of the world, that framework does not exist. A doctor in Peru, the Philippines, or Switzerland who wants to help her has no globally validated standard to turn to. This work builds that standard.

Mobile clinics and primary care
When fixed facilities are damaged, overwhelmed, or closed, mobile clinics become the health system. In 2025, WHO and partners delivered 69.9 million primary health care consultations, supported over 8,100 health facilities, and deployed 1,423 mobile clinics in the world's most fragile settings
