Canadian women struggle to access menopause care

Canadian women face significant barriers accessing publicly funded menopause care, leading many to private clinics. Many primary care providers lack adequate training in menopause management, and existing specialized clinics have long waitlists. This leaves women struggling with debilitating symptoms like hot flashes and brain fog. The growing demand has spurred the rise of private virtual clinics, but affordability remains a major concern, prompting calls for universal, publicly funded access to menopause treatment.
