Austria
Founded: 2023
The Austrian Chapter of Women in Global Health (WGH) was founded in 2023 by a diverse and multidisciplinary group of women passionate about global health. Hosted by the European Health Forum Gastein, our Chapter aims to create a community of engaged people across the country to jointly work towards achieving gender equality in global health leadership, and specifically for women working in the health sector in Austria.
WGH Austria welcomes people of all genders, ages, career levels, and health-related sectors. If you are an Austrian national or resident, or work in an Austria-based organisation with a focus on (global) health, we would love to hear from you!
