This gender gap overlooks women鈥檚 expertise and talents, and compromises the knowledge and policy base for advancing health and equity globally. The need to improve the visibility and recognition of women in global health is clear, and with Canada鈥檚 international reputation for advancing health and equity, it is important that the diversity of women leaders be recognized and amplified.
