WHrC is a multi-stakeholder led initiative to identify gaps in women’s health care and address unmet needs. Our goal is to promote research and innovation to spark transformative changes in the identification, diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of conditions impacting women’s quality of life and health.

Health is more than the absence of disease. Women have learned to adapt their lives to manage many conditions that have not been considered serious and are not well studied.


WHrC seeks to understand the impact of these conditions through patient-centered research and to drive recognition, identification and treatment across a broad spectrum of disorders that impact women’s lives.
