Integrating a Gender Lens in the Fight Against Malaria: A dialogue exploring the power of women’s leadership in Malaria Eradication

Malaria remains one of the world’s killer diseases, claiming lives and countries’ progress especially in areas with limited resources. The impact of malaria is greater among marginalized communities and particularly affects women and children. Although women play a critical role in healthcare they are underrepresented, holding just a quarter of leadership positions across the global health space.

This session will explore how reimagining leadership, particularly by elevating women in leadership roles, can significantly impact the fight against malaria, especially in the context of climate change, and drive better health outcomes.
