The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6593, aims to enhance awareness and education surrounding menopause. It mandates the Department of Public Health to develop and distribute guidelines and educational resources specifically for health care providers about menopause. Additionally, the bill requires that health care providers complete at least one continuing education module focused on menopause care and management.
Furthermore, the bill calls for the Department of Public Health to initiate a public awareness campaign to inform residents about menopause. This initiative is designed to improve understanding and management of menopause among both health care professionals and the general public, ultimately promoting better health outcomes for women experiencing this natural phase of life.
