KINGSTON, Jamaica—Jamaica is in the final stages of developing a dedicated menopause and andropause policy which will guide the governance of men and women with adverse conditions at the level of the family, community and workplace.
Minister of Health and Wellness Dr Christopher Tufton said this was necessary as some 240,000 women are affected by menopause and 145,000 men by andropause, with many not knowing how to treat with what can be debilitating conditions as people age.
Tufton spoke to the issue of May 12 during his contribution to the Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives.
