Global Health Magazine Publishes Article with Highlights from MSH’s work on Women and Girls’ Health
The most recent edition of Global Health Magazine, published by the Global Health Council, includes an article "Women and Girls' Health," which highlights insights from two of Management Science for Health's (MSH) gender specialists.
The author, John Donnelly, states "Compared to one or two decades ago, women and girls fare markedly better. Education rates have climbed. Fertility rates have dropped. The average age of marriage has gotten older. The numbers, though, tell two stories: The advances have been astounding and the unmet need remains great. At this critical political moment, with rich-world governments slashing budgets that could impede progress for women and girls in the developing world, many wonder whether the movement for women and girls will continue to soar – or sputter."
Belkis Giorgis and Halida Akhter, Gender Specialists at MSH, are quoted in the article.
