UHC High-Level Meeting 2023: Visioning Strong Health Systems Built on Women’s Rights
Thursday 15th September, 2:30 PM (CEST)
Despite many steps forward, strong and gender-responsive health systems remain lacking, and women and girls are disproportionately affected by crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. As this year's UN General Assembly marks one year away from the 2023 High-Level Meeting on UHC, this event aims to provide opportunities to continue momentum and action for gender equality in UHC and examine the challenges and explore gender-responsive UHC.
