By: Robert M. Califf, M.D., Commissioner of Food and Drugs and Kaveeta P. Vasisht, M.D., PharmD, Associate Commissioner for Women’s Health and Director of the Office of Women’s Health

Dr CaliffThirty years ago, the FDA's Office of Women’s Health (OWH) was established to promote the inclusion of women in clinical trials and to provide leadership on topics related to the health of women. Since its inception in 1994, OWH has been at the forefront of ensuring that the unique health needs of women are prioritized through a multifaceted approach that encompasses policy, research, education, and outreach. In 2024, the office celebrates 30 years of service and paving a pathway to promote and support advancements in the health of women.
Dr VasishtFurthermore, OWH has been instrumental in promoting diversity and the inclusion of women in clinical trials through its Diverse Women in Clinical Trials initiative. The initiative raises awareness about the importance of the participation of women of different ages, races, ethnic backgrounds, abilities, and those with chronic illnesses and health conditions in clinical trials. Although advancements have been made over the years, opportunities remain to further this progress.
