The commission will develop education materials for healthcare workers and the public, and recommend policies to improve access and outcomes. It also mandates that certain healthcare professionals complete training on perimenopause and menopause care. The Department of Public Health will disseminate information on symptoms, treatment options, and long-term health considerations.
