FemHealth (or femhealth, female health) is a term that refers to a comprehensive definition of women's health, defined as healthcare for conditions appearing only in women, mostly in women, and differently in women. The term FemHealth was coined by Maneesha Ghiya in 2019, the Founder and Managing Partner of FemHealth Ventures, a venture capital firm investing in innovations in women's health.

Overview
