Wellbeing of Women (WoW)
Wellbeing of Women raises money to invest in medical research and the development of specialist doctors and nurses working in the field of reproductive and gynaecological health.
Their mission is to improve women’s health.
They fund research into women’s gynaecological and reproductive health that is most likely to transform women’s healthcare.
They supply training grants to recruit and retain good doctors and midwives in gynaecology and obstetrics.
They provide women with information about their health and ensure the public are better informed about women’s health issues.
They work in partnership with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists to improve women's health. Wellbeing of Women is the partner charity of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
