About the Office of Women's Health

Our Mission

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Office of Women's Health (OWH) serves as a champion for women's health both within and outside the agency. To achieve its goals, OWH:

  • Ensures that FDA functions, both regulatory and oversight, remain gender sensitive and responsive;
  • Works to correct any identified gender disparities in drug, device and biologics testing, and regulation policy;
  • Monitors progress of priority women's health initiatives within FDA;
  • Promotes an integrative and interactive approach regarding women's health issues across all the organizational components of the FDA; and
  • Forms partnerships with government and non-government entities, including consumer groups, health advocates, professional organizations, and industry, to promote FDA's women's health objectives.
