Improving Women’s Health Globally: A Smart Research Investment for the EU
Beyond alleviating the unnecessary suffering of half the world’s population, tackling the women’s health gap has the potential to deliver progress society-wide, including an annual boost of 1 trillion USD to the global economy by 2040. Many intervention areas require attention and improvement to achieve progress in women’s health. Central to this progress is mobilising funding for the development of women-centric health technologies, and putting in place policies and programmes to ensure that women’s needs are factored into research.
