Webinar: Gender-Responsive Health Supply Chain Systems: Are We There Yet?

7 November 2024

On October 29 at 12:00 UTC, we hosted a lively discussion on a topic that doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves—integrating gender considerations in pharmaceutical supply chains.

As we work toward universal health coverage, ensuring everyone has access to essential medicines is key. But did you know that gender biases in supply chains can impact health outcomes for women and marginalized groups? Our latest webinar dove into the vital roles women play across the supply chain and unpacked the unique challenges they face, especially when it comes to leadership and decision-making roles.

Event Snapshot:

This session shed light on practical ways to make supply chains more gender-responsive. Our fantastic panel of experts shared strategies for bridging gender gaps and highlighted why women’s leadership is crucial for creating supply chains that better serve everyone, especially women and children. While policies are in place, our speakers reminded us that the true challenge lies in turning these policies into real, meaningful change.

A huge thank you to our speakers and the audience for keeping the conversation engaging and forward-thinking! If you missed it, you can catch the full recording in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese on our official YouTube page.
