News release: The Menopause Policy Agenda for Canada sets out seven priorities for equitable menopause care and outcomes in women’s health

Menopause Foundation of Canada is calling for more training among health providers and increased research funding

Millions of women in Canada struggle to access basic, evidence-based menopause care. One of the biggest barriers is that many healthcare providers lack the education, training, and confidence to provide support and treatment. This is not a failure of individual providers. Canada’s doctors and nurse practitioners are already overburdened. The problem is systemic: menopause is a universal life stage affecting half the population, yet it remains largely absent from medical education, leaving many providers relying on outdated information. Most menopause care should be delivered through primary care, with only the more complex cases referred to specialists, who currently have long waitlists. Canada must build clinical capacity in menopause care across family medicine, gynecology, and related specialties.

Le problème ne se limite pas aux soins primaires. La chirurgie gynécologique est moins rémunérée que les interventions comparables dans d’autres spécialités², ce qui éloigne les nouveaux diplômés de la spécialité dont les cas de ménopause complexe ont besoin.
