These opening addresses underscored the crucial role of sex as a determinant of gender and its subsequent impact on health policies and programs. The participants were engaged in discussions to examine gender as a system, participated in the Power Walk on privilege, and reflected on how gender influences health inequities. 🌟 Glimpses from Day 2 🌟 The second day emphasized practical application and culminated in a dynamic panel discussion featuring prominent experts: Dr Zoya Ali Rizvi (Deputy Commissioner, MoHFW) Ms. Mona Gupta (Advisor, HRH-HPIP, NHSRC) Dr. Ravi Verma (Regional Director, ICRW, Asia) Dr. Shweta Jindal, MD, M.Sc (Chief of Party, UP-HSS, JHU, India) Chair: Dr. K.

National Health Systems Resource Centre (NHSRC) under Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of India is jointly organising a 2-day workshop on “Integrating Gender Equity in Health Systems: Bridging Gaps Across Public Health Domains” with India Health Action Trust (IHAT) on 30th & 31st January,2025 in NIHFW Campus, New Delhi.

(Prof.) Dr. Atul Kotwal emphasized the crucial role of integrating gender equity in achieving sustainable improvements in healthcare systems. Dr. K Madan Gopal stressed upon the need for a comprehensive approach to address gender disparities across various health domains. Meanwhile, Ms. Meena Narula underscored the key role of collaboration between stakeholders in creating lasting impact and promoting gender-sensitive healthcare policies. Gender refers to the learned roles, norms, and expectations based on one’s sex. It is a socio-cultural definition of a boy and a girl, a man and a woman. Not only are their responsibilities set by society, but also norms, values, dress codes, attitudes, opportunities, rights, mobility, freedom of expression, priorities, and even dreams are determined by society. These norms vary from society to society and can be changed. The workshop is serving as a platform to bring together experts and practitioners from the fields of health and gender. It is fostering engaging discussions and promoting actions that will significantly contribute to building more gender-inclusive health systems. Excited for the valuable sessions ahead!
