Women’s Pelvic-Floor and Cognitive Health as Under-Recognised Chronic Conditions: Multisectoral Prevention Models

Fempharma addresses chronic, non-communicable conditions affecting women across the life course, including pelvic-floor dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and menopause-related cognitive impairment—conditions with major societal, economic, and productivity impacts.

These conditions are underdiagnosed, undertreated, and poorly integrated into prevention frameworks beyond healthcare. Fempharma develops evidence-based nutritional and medical device solutions that can be embedded into community, workplace, postpartum, and ageing-population settings.
