Topic

Gender equity and health equity are deeply connected. Equal opportunities for women to access leadership positions in global health can have far-reaching implications for the quality of women's health care.
With our 4 keynote speakers we aim to discuss: What are the current major challenges in global women's health? Why is closing the gender gap in global health leadership crucial? What topics should be prioritized, ad how can German politicians offer support?

This event is part of a recurring series of fireside chats that we have been organizing for over a year. These chats generally focus on women in the workforce, women in leadership roles, women's health, gender medicine, women's role in digital transformation, and more. On the occasion of the World Health Summit, we are extending an invitation to international guests to join our evening event.
