What type of leadership is needed? We must have agreement at every level that we need both women and men in the health workforce. Both genders bring unique perspectives and health care is a nuanced profession which requires multiple perspectives. Without women, we are missing an important voice in health care delivery. DYK that 5B people have their health care provided by a female health worker? These vital links in the health system cannot be ignored and must be respected and supported for the value they bring to essential care at the front lines.
