Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has said the clinics will form a core part of a new approach to menopause care for women in Ireland.
Dr Forde runs the Ceile Medical Centre in Athlone which is a private clinic for women's health.
She says she's been finding it difficult to find another doctor to help her there.
