It is true to say that every woman born since 1964 will have benefited from the advances in health made possible by WoW funded projects.
Every day in hospitals and laboratories all over Britain, WellBeing of Women funded doctors and their researchers are working hard to find the answers which will save the lives of women and their babies.
