The health of women is undervalued and under-researched across the globe. Investing in women’s health benefits everyone. When we improve women’s health, we improve health care for all.

Prioritizing women’s health ensures that the positive outcomes from research advancements and health care interventions can be sustained during the pursuit of other global development goals.

It is critical that stakeholders connect and collaborate with partners to develop the necessary evidence base to enhance individual efforts and dissemination of resources.

Women must be represented in leadership, not only for women’s health initiatives, but also in broader research, health care, and policy decision-making to ensure diverse and inclusive perspectives that produce best practices and outcomes.
