SUMMARY:Subsidizing global health: Women’s unpaid work in health systems
DESCRIPTION:Despite being the majority in the profession\, women in the health sector are paid 23% less than their male counterparts (Gender Pay Gap) and millions of women are working unpaid or grossly underpaid in core health systems roles. It is estimated that women in health contribute 5% to global gross domestic product (GDP) (US$ 3 trillion)\, out of which almost 50% is unrecognized and unpaid. Women’s unpaid work at community level has had major positive health outcomes for communities\, as confirmed by the unpaid work women have done in the pandemic tracing positive cases\, promoting public health measures and delivering vaccines. It is a contradiction that this valuable work appears to have no economic value. It is also a contradiction that some of the world’s poorest women take on this work in addition to their already heavy load of domestic and subsistence work. \nAgainst this backdrop\, Women in Global Health\, in collaboration with the Frontline Health Worker Coalition will hold a high-level\, 90-minute event to launch WGH’s latest policy report \, Subsidizing global health: Women’s unpaid work in health systems\, marking World Health Worker Week. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Community Health Worker Voices on UHC
DESCRIPTION:Universal Health Coverage (UHC) cannot be reached without community health workers (CHWs) delivering quality health care and services for the hardest-to-reach communities. Countries are adopting and implementing UHC policies in an effort to improve the health outcomes of their most vulnerable populations. Many are also making commitments to support CHWs as formal members of the workforce and provide necessary training\, supervision\, and payment to allow them to deliver quality PHC services to their communities. But what does this look like in action on the ground? \nThis 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 UHC looks like to them\, how new policies have impacted their day-to-day work and the impact COVID on their ability to deliver essential health services. \nFrench translation will be provided. \nRegister here
