The issue of gender inequities in Africa is multifaceted and is influenced by various factors such as poverty, economics, sexual and gender-based violence. These challenges significantly hinder the improvement of women’s health in the region. It is crucial that global health leadership recognizes the importance of equal access to healthcare in achieving better health outcomes for women on the continent.
In an upcoming program, two prominent global health leaders from Africa will discuss strategies for overcoming obstacles to providing equitable healthcare for women on the continent. The event will be recorded, and an on-demand video will be available after it concludes for those who are unable to attend live.
The speakers for the 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, as well as 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.
