At the first-ever White House Conference on Women’s Health Research, First Lady Jill Biden emphasized the importance of addressing the funding disparities in women's health research, which has been historically overlooked despite affecting half the population. She highlighted the administration’s investment of nearly $1 billion in initiatives aimed at improving women's health outcomes, including research on pregnancy complications and menopause. Biden expressed a commitment to continue advocating for these issues even after leaving office, stating the need to make progress 'unstoppable.' Additionally, President Biden noted that a healthy female population is vital for U.S. prosperity, stressing the importance of this initiative for future generations. Amidst the conference's serious discussions, Jill Biden made headlines for a light-hearted jab at Vice President Kamala Harris, reflecting ongoing tensions between the two. The event showcased a unified front on women's health, amidst broader political dynamics surrounding reproductive rights.
