Congratulations to Dr. Marie-Roseline Darnycka Belizaire on being named to the #TIME100Next 2026 list! 🎉

She negotiated access into conflict zones during DRC's 10th Ebola outbreak and now leads again in the current response.

Women are leading health.

Congratulations, Dr. Oluwayemisi Adegboye! 🎉

She has been elected the first secretary of the CoNGO NGO Committee on Global Health Systems, on the margins of UNGA 81.

This is a stronger voice for Africa and the Global South in global health.

We survived the last pandemic. Today, the UN adopts a plan for the next one.

PPE that didn’t fit. Women on the frontline without decision-making power. The care burden that followed them home.

Preparedness that repeats this isn’t preparedness. #UNGA81 #WomenInGlobalHealth

4 out of 5 people displaced by climate impacts are women and girls.

As leaders meet on climate action and the just transition, remember: a just transition cannot be just if those most affected don’t have equal power to shape it.

Who pays for development? Women do.

40 years since the world affirmed the right to development, women’s unpaid care still subsidizes economies, communities, and health systems—and still goes uncounted.

It’s time we counted the cost. #UNGA81 #RightToDevelopment

[Women In Global Health @womeninGH]

The future of innovation and technology must include the Global South.

Beyond access, communities must have opportunities to shape research, lead innovation, and influence the decisions that affect their lives.

Representation in global health is more than being in the room. It’s about who shapes priorities, influences decisions, and controls resources. Representation should not just change the picture. It should change who has power.

At UNGA 80, 194 speakers addressed the General Assembly. Only 24 were women.

Today, the UN opens its 81st session, promising to restore trust and deliver for all.

Start with who is holding the microphone.

You’ve heard of El Niño. But what does it mean for women’s health?

Extreme weather can disrupt food, water and healthcare, increasing risks for women and girls.

Climate change affects everyone, but not equally. We need gender-responsive climate action.

We’re proud of Women in Global Health Nigeria for advancing more inclusive digital health.

The team launched the country’s first mixed-methods assessment of gender inclusion in digital health campaigns, laying the groundwork for national data collection.

Today, we honor health and humanitarian workers who care for communities affected by conflict and crisis, often at great personal risk.

Health workers should not have to risk their lives to save lives.

Young people may live in different contexts, but many share the same aspirations.

Yet unequal access to education, healthcare & opportunities shapes their realities differently

This #InternationalYouthDay, we reaffirm our shared responsibility to help every young person thrive.

Behind every breastfeeding journey is a support system.

Let's strengthen the #WarmChainOfSupport so every mother has the support she needs to breastfeed if she chooses.

Because stronger support means healthier families.

Women are holding up the Ebola response every day—as health workers, caregivers, and community leaders.
Now it's time to:
✔️ Equip carers with lifesaving information.
✔️ Prioritize women's health.
✔️ Center women in community engagement.

Health is a human right. For too many African women and girls, it remains out of reach.
On the International Day of Women and Girls of African Descent, we reaffirm that equitable healthcare must be accessible to everyone—without discrimination.
