🚺🌐 Bridging the gap: A conversation on women's health I want to raise awareness for🌐🚺 The @McKinsey Health Institute, in collaboration with @Women in Global Health, is set to host a session during the 77th World Health Assembly. Join for an insightful dialogue aimed at bridging the public and private sectors to address the pressing issue of the women's health gap. Women's health leaders from various sectors will come together for an actionable conversation on which steps can be taken to foster multistakeholder collaboration across the public, private, and social sectors, working towards closing the gap in women's health outcomes. McKinsey studies found a $1 trillion economic opportunity that, if harnessed, could unlock up to 75 million years of higher quality life for women (or 7 days annually per woman on average) from closing this health gap. Together, we can close the gap and create a healthier, more equitable world for all. 🌍 💡 Bridging the public and private sector to close the women’s health gap 📆 May 29, 2024 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/eRpEKrZx #WomenInHealth #WHA77 #GlobalHealth

The White House's Executive Order presents a myriad of opportunities for advancing Women's Health research and innovation. However, true progress hinges on more than just rhetoric; meaningful policy changes are essential. Particularly in maternal health, where disparities persist, tangible advancements require not just declarations but concrete actions. This includes equitable access to healthcare, addressing systemic barriers, and investing in comprehensive support systems. Without these fundamental shifts, the landscape of Women's Health may see potential squandered, leaving vital issues unresolved. It's time for policies that match the ambition of declarations, ensuring that progress is not just promised but executed.

New research from McKinsey & Company and World Economic Forum reveals that investing in women's health would not only add years to their lives, but also boost the global economy by $1 trillion annually by 2040. Addressing this gap hinges on: 📍 Confronting disparities around women-led knowledge and science 📍 Repairing data gaps and performing studies that actually include and accommodate female bodies. 📍 Enhancing access to gender-specific care and providing comprehensive health-based solutions for women worldwide 📍 Overturning historical underinvestment in women's health and increasing funding to address unmet care needs Bringing women's care to the forefront and achieving health equity is not an isolated issue. It must be an ongoing and collaborative effort between governments, healthcare institutions, policymakers, private organizations, and stakeholders at all levels. #WomensHealth #GenderEquality #CareNeeds

A new study by the Commonwealth Fund uncovers concerning disparities in women's health outcomes between the U.S. and other high-income nations. Despite its global wealth, the U.S. significantly lags in women's life expectancy, healthcare access, and overall health outcomes. Alarming trends include the highest rate of avoidable deaths among women and notable racial/ethnic disparities, particularly impacting Black and Hispanic communities. Being the sole country without universal health coverage in the study, these findings prompt critical reflections on the effectiveness of the U.S. healthcare system in advancing women's well-being.
