Biden leads the initiative, launched in November to close the gender research gap in health care.
"Every woman I know has a story about leaving her doctor’s office with more questions than answers. Not because our doctors are withholding information, but because there’s just not enough research yet on how to best manage and treat even common women’s health conditions. In 2023, that is unacceptable," she said in a statement announcing the initiative.
