The Women’s Health Student Summit at Harvard Chan
Women around the world experience systemic barriers to respectful, quality care. Countries like the UK and Australia, in response, developed national women’s health strategies to evolve from fragmented programs toward integrated, life-course approaches. However, there is no academic forum that convenes global leaders, policymakers, academic experts, and advocates to advance the discussion and create a shared agenda for holistic women’s health strategies. The women’s health student summit at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health is the forum where changemakers gathers to develop strategies that unify siloed programs, and bridge research, policy, and implementation to advance women’s health agendas globally.
This event is in-person and vitual.
