Webinars and Online Events

Despite being the majority in the profession, women in the health sector are paid 23% less than their male counterparts and millions of women are working unpaid or grossly underpaid in core health systems roles. Against this backdrop, Women in Global Health, in collaboration with the Frontline Health Worker Coalition, will hold a high-level event to launch WGH’s latest policy report, Subsidizing global health: Women’s unpaid work in health systems.

This event—the first of a series of quarterly CHW dialogues—will bring together CHWs from across sub-Saharan Africa in a knowledge-sharing conversation on what universal health coverage (UHC) looks like to them, how new policies have impacted their day-to-day work, and the impact of COVID on their ability to deliver essential health services.
