HR 8247 United States House · 118th Congress

Uterine Fibroid Intervention and Gynecological Health Treatment Act of 2024

This bill directs the Health and Human Services Secretary to fund research on early detection and treatment of uterine fibroids, with a focus on reducing health disparities. It authorizes grants to states for screening programs (including advanced imaging), patient navigation services, and public education campaigns - prioritizing areas with socially vulnerable populations at higher risk. States receiving funds must implement evidence-based strategies to improve access to early intervention. The bill also requires regular reports to Congress on grant outcomes and research findings related to fibroid treatment disparities and related conditions like Asherman’s Syndrome.
