KSh455 million (about $3.5 million) for the health questions women were told to wait on

More than 200 million African women live with conditions like endometriosis, fibroids and heavy menstrual bleeding — yet only about 1% of global health research money goes to female-specific conditions beyond cancer. The LEA-WH programme is putting researchers where the questions are: KSh455 million (about $3.5 million) will support 20 early-career fellows from 11 African countries working on menstrual health, endometriosis, menopause, cervical cancer and new contraception. Programme director Professor Elizabeth Bukusi says the fellows get more than lab support — mentorship in product development, regulation and patents, so ideas can actually reach clinics. They present their work at the Women's Health Ecosystem Forum in Kenya on 2–5 November.
