FWW Introduction

Have you ever googled “women’s health”?  Wow. 46,200,000 links!  And yet every time women seek medical treatment the quality of their care is compromised. That’s because no matter how excellent their physician is, she is limited by what science understands. Today, medical research on women in general, and on gender differences, is alarmingly scarce. The facts are:

Two-thirds of all diseases afflicting both sexes have been examined exclusively in men.
Only in the last decade or so have women been required to participate in clinical trials and drug studies affecting all adults, and still there is difficulty with compliance.
We now know that gender differences pervade everything from disease causes and accurate diagnoses to effective treatment and prevention techniques. Research focused on females is the only way to improve medical information for women.

Foundation for Women's Wellness (FWW) targets this void in women’s medicine by funding groundbreaking research and disseminating clarifying information to physicians and patients alike. As a small public charity, FWW funnels maximum support to under-funded areas critical to women’s health, and brings prominent physician-researchers directly to women.

With your support we can make a difference.
