Melinda French Gates talked about menopause and her philanthropic focus on women's health in the debut episode of Norah O'Donnell's "Healthful" podcast.

The philanthropist said that even in her “unbelievably privileged situation,” it took three different doctors to diagnose her.

According to French Gates, despite having access to 'some of the best health care' on the globe, doctors struggled to diagnose her when her symptoms first arose in her early 40s.
