Washington - A study finds woman veterans aren't getting equal medical care at many Department of Veteran Affairs facilities.

A review of care mandated by congress found that at about one third of its VA facilities, the quality of outpatient care given to women wasn't as good as what was offered to men.

Right now U.S. Senator Patty Murray is sponsoring a bill pushing to better meet women veteran's health care needs.

"I have been hearing from so many women that they are not getting the best care, that often times they don't feel comfortable going to the VA," said U.S. Senator Patty Murray.

The study said the VA has made strides in improving care for women veterans, but it said more physicians need to be trained in women's care. Plus, centers need to provide more equipment to meet women's health care needs.
