Wales: Women's health hubs 'in every part of the country' Health hubs for women will be set up in every part of the country in an effort to close the gender health gap.

Pleased to see a shift in Welsh Govt towards a women's health strategy.

Too many experiences overlooked and women left in pain without answers.

Glad @jeremy-miles.bsky.social & @prifweinidog.bsky.social have moved the Govt & Welsh NHS on this
