The Challenge

Supporting the development of Health Products that meet real user needs and societal challenges, while integrating gender considerations that influence uptake, engagement, access, and sustained Use.

Incorporating gender dynamics and engaging patient and user perspectives early in the development process enables therapeutics, diagnostics, devices, and digital solutions to achieve higher engagement, better outcomes, and more equitable population impact.
