Navigating perimenopause services in Northern Ireland is an "uphill struggle" for some women, a campaigner has said.Doctors and campaigners have called for a dedicated women's health strategy for Northern Ireland.
Maria McIlgorm said while she was "fully supportive", any future strategy should build on the "good work happening here around women's health issues".Tracey Kearns also experienced premature menopause and said the past decade had been "horrendous". "There was no connection ever made that what I was going through was related to perimenopause," she said.
Among those supporting an event at Stormont on Tuesday were the Head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service, Jayne Brady and Northern Ireland's former Chief Nursing Officer, Charlotte McCardle, who is leading on England's women's health strategy.
