Today is #InternationalWomensDay

#HealthForAll

Women living in rural areas face many barriers to health services including transportation and social and economic factors.

Equitable access to health services, including e-health services, is critical for women and girls living in rural areas.

#InternationalWomensDay

Women make up 70% of the health workforce globally, incl. 90% of all nurses, BUT
👩🏻‍⚕️ They occupy only 25% of global health leadership roles
👩🏻‍⚕️ On average earn 25% less than their male colleagues

We must address the root causes of disparities in women’s and girl’s health

Today on #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the women learning on our free #OpenWHO platform to strengthen public health.

52% of our learners are women, incl. 60% in key courses like our COVID-19 vaccination training for health workers.

Refugee & migrant mothers 👩‍👦 & children have relatively poorer knowledge of, and access to, maternal & child health services.
This puts their health at a higher risk of poor health outcomes

To achieve #HealthForAll, access to healthcare services should be provided to everyone
