With all political manifestos for the 2024 UK general election now published, a recent Ipsos poll showed that the NHS is the top priority among voters. However, the issue of women’s health has been overlooked in these manifestos, with key concerns like inclusion in clinical research and preconception healthcare not being addressed. While the Conservative manifesto mentions continuing the Women’s Health Strategy, there is a risk of its impact being diluted by future governments. Lessons can be learned from the US in terms of prioritizing women’s health. Recommendations include seeking public and expert input for manifestos to ensure long-term support for women’s health policies.
