March Newsletter 2024

Dear friends and colleagues:

As we enter Women's History Month, we celebrate the remarkable contributions and resilience of women throughout time. This March, amidst our tributes to trailblazers and change makers, we also confront the ongoing battle for women's health equity. From the suffragists who fought for our right to vote to the activists championing reproductive rights today, women have always been at the forefront of advocating for better healthcare. However, disparities persist and they disproportionately affect marginalized communities. This month, let's honor the legacy of women who paved the way by redoubling our efforts to ensure that every woman has access to comprehensive, dignified healthcare. Together, let's write the next chapter in women's history—one where healthcare equity is a reality for all.

Women's Health Disparities: Closing the Health Gap

Source: McKinsey Health Institute

Over the past two centuries, global life expectancy surged to 73 years in 2018. Despite this, women spend more time in poor health than men, impacting their productivity and earnings. According to McKinsey Health Institute, closing this gap could add over $1 trillion to the global economy annually by 2040. Beyond economic gains, it's about health equity for women. Nearly half of their health burden occurs during their working years, affecting their livelihoods and families. Addressing this gap is crucial for ensuring the well-being of women worldwide.
