Minister for Health announces funding for ambulatory gynaecology services and enhanced endometriosis service under the Womenâs Health Fund
The Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly TD, has announced details of two areas to be funded under the recently established â¬5 million Womenâs Health Fund:
two community-based Ambulatory Gynaecology Services governed by two acute hospitals (Tallaght University Hospital, and University Maternity Hospital Limerick)
expansion of the endometriosis service at Tallaght University Hospital (TUH) to deliver a specialist endometriosis centre for the management and treatment of all forms of endometriosis, with particular focus on advanced and complex cases for which there is no ready access in Ireland
The director of the HSE s National Women and Infants Health Programme has said the evidence suggests that the outcome for pregnant women who get Covid-19 is by and large very reassuring .
However, he said that the international experience generally suggests there has been no increase in stillbirths since the pandemic began.
Dr McKenna said up until the early part of the year, there had been around 400 pregnant women who contracted Covid-19 in Ireland, but there are estimates that this figure has since more than doubled. I would estimate reasonably we ve had about 1,000 pregnant women who have had Covid. That s very much a guesstimate, but it s probably not an unreasonable one, he said.

How Tracking Health Indicators Facilitates More Targeted Policy Interventions
Delving into the empirical data regarding the primary health indicators can pave the way for better implementation of policies designed to mitigate the prevailing health issues
For any country to achieve its full potential it has to make substantial investments in the health of its population. This is true for India too. For India to thrive economically, we need to be a healthier country. Over the years, India has made substantial investments to drive better health outcomes in adult, maternal, child and neonatal cohorts. While there has been significant progress, there are still state-wise and district wise gaps and disparities in health outcomes. These need to be addressed so that these investments can yield their intended results, and health interventions can reach, and benefit, the most vulnerable populations.
