It’s Women’s Health Week (2-6 September) and this year’s theme, ‘Your choice. Your voice’, shines a spotlight on some of the biggest issues in women’s health.
To celebrate, we are sharing a new Policy Brief on the Women’s Health Hub.
Making Evolving Models of Care Gender-Responsive explores opportunities for making new, and emerging, models of care more responsive to the needs of women and gender diverse people.
New models of health care delivery emerge in response to diverse factors such as pandemics, technology shifts and the ongoing effects of climate change. Achieving health equity and supporting prevention efforts requires us to apply an intersectional gendered lens to these evolving models of care.
Our brief aims to achieve that. It explores evolving models of care from a gender-responsive lens to inform policy, strategy and practice. It is a vehicle for amplifying women’s voices to strengthen health care and drive structural change.
This brief argues that gendered differences in health experiences, treatment, and health outcomes must be considered in the development of clinical guidelines, policies and strategies, and that training on best practice gender-responsive approaches to care is necessary to improve outcomes.
