Bridging the health gap for women and girls: Opportunities for integrated, woman-centered approaches to primary health care across the life course
January 23 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 pm

Global awareness and advocacy for gender-responsive health care has increased, and we are seeing significant improvements in maternal health and access to contraception globally. However, a substantial women’s health gap remains, with women spending more time in poor health because of conditions that affect them differently or disproportionately.
Delivered through integrated, person-centered primary health care, products and services designed for the wide range of women’s and girls’ needs can dramatically improve their health and well-being across all life stages. This includes both innovations for female-specific conditions and for conditions that affect women disproportionately or differently.
Hosted by PATH, this webinar will focus on women and girls’ health across the life course, including adolescence, the antenatal/postpartum period, and later adulthood, as well as opportunities to support mental health during all life stages. Speakers will address some of the biggest health concerns faced by women and girls at these life stages, share what has been most effective in addressing those issues, and identify what is needed for sustainable solutions.
Monica Mutesa, Zambia Country Coordinator with the Injectables Access Collaborative, PATH will moderate this event with the following featured speakers:
- Nelly Munyasia, Executive Director, Reproductive Health Network Kenya
- Dr. Lori Newman, Deputy Director of STI and Gynecology, Women’s Health Innovations, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
- Dr. Abir Aldhalimi, Senior Technical Director, Inclusive Development Hub, USAID
This event will be held in English with simultaneous interpretation available using artificial intelligence software.
