WomenLift Health Conference Read-out by Savannah Russo, Engagement Manager & Lakshmi Prasad, Engagement Manager
In April, Savannah and Lakshmi had the opportunity to attend the WomenLift Health Global Conference in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. WomenLift Health (WLH) is an organization that seeks to expand the power and influence of talented women leaders in global health. The conference brought together over 800 women leaders from more than 40 countries spanning several generations, career stages, and health sub-sectors, including male allies and decision-makers from the global health sector. Participants engaged in targeted conversations around catalyzing global action to close the gender gap in health leadership. The conference aligned the focus on health leadership with other interrelated sectors, drawing participants from economic, political, media, technology, and adjacent fields as well.
