Digital Salon: Global Perspectives on: Women’s Health
July 16, 2024

Women’s health investments face growing challenges: fiscal constraints and resurgent anti-gender movements threaten hard-won progress. However, these investments, particularly on the African continent, are crucial – not only for health and gender equality, but as key drivers of economic growth. This is especially true for sexual and reproductive health and family planning. In our digital dialogue, we explored how joint efforts across the private, public and civil society sector can improve information dissemination and access to women’s health services.
