Summary
First Lady Jill Biden announced that the Pentagon will invest over $500 million annually in women’s health research, aimed at addressing critical health issues affecting women in the military and beyond. This funding is part of a broader initiative to enhance women’s health care, which has historically been underfunded and understudied.
The announcement was made during the Clinton Global Initiative meeting, where Biden emphasized the importance of this investment for the 230,000 active-duty servicewomen and nearly two million military retirees, as well as their family members. The funding will focus on various health conditions, including arthritis, chronic fatigue, and cardiovascular health, reflecting a commitment to improve health outcomes for women who often experience these conditions at higher rates than men. This initiative aligns with the Biden administration’s ongoing efforts to close gender gaps in health research and care, marking a significant step toward prioritizing women’s health in federal policy.
