Population Council Webinar: Gender Equity in Digital Health Investments for Adolescent Girls and Young Women (03/09/26)

Inclusive by Design: Gender equity in digital health investments for adolescent girls and young women
Monday, 9 Mar ǀ 10:00–11:00 am EDT For the upcoming International Women’s Day, we’re asking a critical question: Who is digital health really designed and financed for?

Digital health is transforming health systems. But without gender-intentional design and investment, it risks reinforcing existing inequities. Adolescent girls and young women continue to face barriers related to access, affordability, safety, digital literacy and trust.

Join vTransform Health, African Women in Digital Health (AWiDH), the Population Council’s GIRL Center, and health.enabled for a dynamic conversation on how resources can be better allocated to ensure investments will drive a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable transformation of health systems, particularly for women and girls.
