What happens when science speaks for women’s health? 👩‍⚕️
And more importantly, who listens when the evidence is clear?

This Women’s Month, join us for this year's first session of Policy Rx: Prescribing Science for Better Decisions, which will spotlight locally generated research and discuss how scientific findings can inform public health programs, clinical practice, and national policies.

From conditions like PCOS, this conversation brings together experts and stakeholders to explore how research can move beyond journals, and into real-world decisions that improve women’s health.

📅 26 March 2026
⏰ 9:00 AM
📍 Via Zoom

Let’s celebrate National Women’s Month by amplifying the role of science in advancing health policies for every Filipina.
