Women’s Health

The first Women’s Health Plan for Wales was launched in December 2024 setting out a ten-year vision to improve healthcare services for Women. The plan is about:

  • Improving health
  • Listening to all women to help support them with their health
  • Making sure women are treated equally and fairly

One of the main goals is to take a preventative approach to health issues.
