The gender disparities that exist in Africa are influenced by a variety of factors such as poverty, economics, sexual and gender-based violence. These challenges present significant obstacles to improving women’s health in the region. It is crucial for global health leadership to recognize that equal access to healthcare is essential in achieving better health outcomes.
Two prominent global health leaders from Africa will be discussing strategies to address these obstacles during an upcoming program. To participate in the discussion and submit questions, you can register for free. The event will be recorded, and an on-demand video will be available after it concludes for those unable to attend live.
The speakers for this program include Awa Marie Coll Seck, Former Senior Minister to the President of Senegal, Richard L. and Ronay A. Menschel Senior Leadership Fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and Lia Tadesse Gebremedhin, Former Minister of Health of Ethiopia and Executive Director of the Harvard Ministerial Leadership Program at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The discussion will be moderated by Wafaie Fawzi, Richard Saltonstall Professor of Population Sciences and Professor of Nutrition, Epidemiology, and Global Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
It is time for global health leaders to take action against gender inequities in Africa and work towards creating a more equitable healthcare system for all women on the continent.
