Finally, some good news for women\u2019s health \u2013 but more needs to be done<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a landmark step forward for women\u2019s health, MUTU\u00ae has been commissioned by the NHS for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This groundbreaking commission comes at a pivotal time. Recent government changes have shifted NHS priorities, removing national Women\u2019s Health Hubs targets. This means that crucial women\u2019s health services, including access to postpartum care, may no longer be consistently funded nationwide. Today, access depends entirely on local Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), creating a postcode lottery for women\u2019s health – this is simply not good enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is still hope. Leading the way, Medway Valley Women\u2019s Health Hub has taken action. For the first time, an NHS service has officially commissioned MUTU System to support women\u2019s postnatal recovery and pelvic health. Medway has taken the first step in ensuring women in its region can access MUTU\u2019s clinically proven, doctor-recommended<\/strong> programme for free. This is a massive step in improving access to essential women\u2019s health services within the NHS\u2014but we need to see more services follow suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why MUTU? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MUTU System is a globally recognised, doctor-recommended programme designed to help women strengthen their core, improve pelvic floor function, and support postnatal recovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new NHS commissioning means more women can access the care they need without financial barriers, improving physical health and overall well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Model for the Future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The NHS in Medway Valley’s decision sets a precedent for prioritising women\u2019s health across the UK. However, this does not mean other areas will automatically follow Medway Valley\u2019s example; we must all continue actively demanding change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What This Means for You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Right now, only a limited number of women in Medway, Kent, can access MUTU for free\u2014but that can change. Each local NHS trust decides which services to fund through its Integrated Care Board (ICB). If enough women demand and advocate<\/strong> for better postpartum care, more areas could follow Medway\u2019s lead and help us make MUTU accessible nationwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
