Njeri explained that endometriosis, where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, is often misdiagnosed as ordinary menstrual pain. This can lead to severe pelvic pain, excessive bleeding, fatigue, and infertility, significantly impacting women's dignity, equality, and well-being.

The legislator noted that affected women can spend years seeking an accurate diagnosis, with the resulting pain affecting their education, employment, and household finances. She stressed the need to integrate endometriosis care into the UHC agenda, ensure coverage through the Social Health Authority (SHA), and decentralize specialized services to county and regional referral facilities.

Furthermore, Njeri called for enhanced training for healthcare workers and the development of clear national guidelines for diagnosis, referral, treatment, and long-term management. She also emphasized the need for research to determine the prevalence of endometriosis and its socioeconomic impact.

Njeri also advocated for a shift in menstrual health messaging, encouraging public education to help women and girls identify symptoms requiring medical attention, beyond just access to sanitary products. She paid tribute to the late endometriosis campaigner Mary Njambi Koikai for her role in raising awareness.
