Trump signs order creating women's health division at NIH and White House task force

The US administration has taken a major step to advance research and treatment facilities related to women's health. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order under which a separate women's health division will be created at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and a special task force will be formed at the White House. This will give women's health issues greater importance at the national level.

Under the order, a separate "Women's Health Division" will be set up at the NIH. Its main aims are to close gaps in research on women's health, develop new methods of treatment and make health services more effective. The emphasis will be on more research on conditions such as endometriosis, heart disease, osteoporosis and Alzheimer's.

A separate task force will be set up at the White House to coordinate policies on women's health. It will be headed by White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The committee will work to improve government schemes, research and treatment facilities related to women's health.

First Lady Melania Trump is said to have played an important role in the initiative. Emphasis will also be placed on using artificial intelligence (AI) to modernise research on women's health. The main goals of the initiative are to develop new treatments faster through research, make medical services available at affordable prices and raise awareness about health among women.
