Heroines of Health 2017
The Heroines of Health Awards were established by Women in Global Health in 2017 as a powerful platform to amplify the exceptional work done by women, who are the majority of the health workforce. Women drive and deliver health but their contributions often remain invisible and under-recognized.
It was an incredible privilege for the Women in Global Health and GE Healthcare teams – along with our co-sponsors, United Nations Foundation, Global Health Council, Global Health Centre-Graduate Institute, Women Deliver, Government Offices of Sweden, IntraHealth International, Frontline Health Workers Coalition and Research in Ethics Gender Studies (RinGS) – to celebrate amazing women among diverse, committed partners from around the world, from across sectors, spanning all areas of global health advocacy. These women are working tirelessly to improve global health with dedication and passion to champion better healthcare for all. Our teams are committed to help recognize, develop and grow women’s leadership. This is just the start.
