Policy & advocacy
Bill S-243: A National Framework for Women’s Health
Bill S-243, An Act to Create a National Framework for Women’s Health, would require the Minister of Health to develop a national women’s health strategy within one year of the bill passing, in consultation with stakeholders. Sponsored by Senator Danièle Henkel, it has passed second reading in the Senate and been referred to the Standing Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology (SOCI) for further study.
For Canadian femtech, a national strategy is intended to support innovation, bring private and public health systems closer together, and enable entrepreneurship for women-led health businesses. The Women’s Health Coalition leads the framework, and Femtech Canada is one of its community partners.
