Gender inequity, influenced by poverty, economics, sexual, and gender-based violence, are significant challenges to improving the health of women in Africa.

In an upcoming program, two distinguished global health leaders from Africa will engage in a discussion on how to tackle the obstacles to providing equitable health care for women on the continent.
