Trump Signs Executive Order Reinstating Women's Health Division at NIH
- President Trump signed an executive order reinstating a women's health division within the NIH, which had been established by a similar Biden-era order.
- The new initiative, led by First Lady Melania Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., aims to address women's health issues but lacks specific funding commitments.
- The order also revokes previous executive actions by President Biden, which focused on improving research funding and accountability for women's health issues.
