PC Leader Tim Houston says if re-elected his government would invest in Canada’s first-ever Menopause Centre of Excellence. The centre would be dedicated to managing symptoms related to perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause in women over 40.
“There are nearly 350,000 women in Nova Scotia over the age of 40 who are managing menopause, post-menopause or approaching menopause. Traditionally these women have not received the attention they deserve from our health-care system,” said Houston in a statement.
“We’re going to fix that by providing the improved access to specialized care that these women deserve.”
The PCs say they would work with Dr. Maria Migas and Dr. Shawna O’Hearn, co-founders of the Menopause Society of Nova Scotia, to establish the new clinic.
