Five future concerns for women’s health
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has brought the world’s attention to the gendered impacts of health emergencies of women. This offers a critical opportunity to advance our understanding of the gendered impacts of healthcare and to improve health outcomes for women around the world. However, to do so we need to be mindful of five future challenges: 1. the continued impact of COVID-19; 2. attacks on women’s health and the need for gender equality; 3. understanding women’s health needs everyday, not just during emergencies; 4. not seeing female leadership as a quick fix; and 5. holding global institutions to account.
