> President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish a dedicated women’s health division at the NIH and a White House task force. Melania Trump called the move a “transformative moment” for US women’s health. The division must be set up within 90 days, but the order specifies no funding targets. Critics question its effectiveness amid federal workforce and research-budget cuts.
