It additionally operates as a general clearinghouse for reports regarding bigotry and denial of equal protection on the standards mentioned above.
The Health Resources and Services Administration
HRSA works to ensure children, mothers, pregnant women, the insured individuals, as well as those living with HIV/AIDS access quality health care. It attains its mandate by funding Federally Qualified Health Centers, particularly the community-based ones, as they serve those most in need. Besides its concern on women’s health, it equally benefits other vulnerable groups.
In addition to the federal health programs for women, there are also non-profit agencies that oversee women’s health as well. These include:
