Close the Gap on Women’s Health Research
We must ensure that an appropriate amount of research funding in the healthcare field is being put towards women’s health. A Nova Scotia Liberal government would require 50% of all research funding in the province be used to study women’s health. In addition, we will re-establish the Atlantic Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health to address current gaps, enhance research on women’s health issues, and strengthen the Nova Scotian health system response to the specific health needs and concerns of women in our province.
Cost estimate: Total cost: $6M for first year, $2M/year ongoing
