Only the family-planning-center slice (~1,700 firms, ~$4.6B) is separately coded; most OB/GYN care sits inside physician offices and isn't captured here, so this understates the true segment. What is measured grew fast (~9.2%/yr); women's health is an active PE roll-up theme (fertility, maternity, and comprehensive women's platforms) beyond this narrow code.
