With the new Regional Directors appointed @WHO , this should serve as an important marker to work on and improve

[Women In Global Health @womeninGH]

The progress towards #GenderEqual @WHO #EB154 is not consistent across regions! 🌎 Especially in EMRO, WPRO, and SEARO, women's representation in EBs over the years is not improving; Member States must choose their representatives prioritising parity and diversity #WomenInGH

[Women In Global Health @womeninGH]

A landmark moment for women in global health leadership: Dr. @SaniaNishtar appointed as Gavi's Next CEO 🌐
A renowned Pakistani physician and public health and development expert also supported the foundation of our chapter @WGHPakistan. The first woman leader from the Global South to be appointed to lead @gavi, her persistence, and resilience in the leadership journey is an example to all of us.

We want to congratulate Dr. Nishtar wholeheartedly, and we are confident that she will champion the health rights of women and girls in her new post 💪 #WomenInGH
