The aim is to open a hub in every health board by March, tailored to meeting local needs. Some will operate over multiple sites and others will be accessed online, but they will all adhere to the same holistic approach to women's health.

The hubs will improve access to vital healthcare services through extended clinics, education sessions and online guidance and signposting.

They have been designed with women to fit around women's lives. Some services will be referral-based and others will be open access.

Sarah Murphy, minister with responsibility for women's health, said: ‘The two very different provisions I will have visited in Swansea and Aberystwyth over the past week reflect the wide variety of ways health boards are meeting the brief of tackling health inequalities and making sure women's symptoms are not dismissed.

‘As the pathfinder hubs, and the new services linked to them, are rolled out we'll be listening to women's feedback and adapting to make sure we are building a health service which meets the needs of women and girls, now and for generations to come.'

Dr Helen Munro, clinical lead at National Strategic Network for Women's Health, added: ‘These new women's health hubs represent a meaningful shift in how we deliver care across Wales. By bringing menopause, menstrual health, contraception and pelvic health services together in one accessible, community‑based model, we are removing barriers that have too often prevented women from getting timely support.

‘What matters most is that these hubs have been shaped by women's experiences and designed around the realities of their lives. As services expand across every health board, we have a real opportunity to listen, respond and build a system that treats women's health with the priority and respect it deserves.'

The hubs are part the Women's Health Plan for Wales that was published last year. The plan, created by the National Strategic Clinical Network for Women's Health, part of NHS Wales Performance and Improvement, sets out how NHS organisations in Wales will close the gender health gap by providing better health services for women, ensuring they are listened to and their health needs are understood.

It includes more than 60 actions across eight priority areas to improve healthcare for women throughout their lifetime, based on feedback from around 4,000 women across Wales.

Each health board has received an additional £300,000 this financial year to support the development of the pathfinder women's health hubs. They will be evaluated later this year.
