Trump signs executive order creating women's health task force and NIH women's health division
Summary
President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing two bodies to boost women's health research, address gaps in medical knowledge, and improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The order creates a task force and a new Women's Health Division at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The task force will be led by White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, who recently announced she is cancer-free, and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a White House official said. The task force will focus on speeding up diagnosis and improving treatment of women's health conditions that remain understudied. The new NIH division will not replace the agency's Office of Research on Women's Health. First Lady Melania Trump has championed the action as a 'transformative moment' for US women's health.
