Gender Mainstreaming in Health

Gender mainstreaming in health is the process of considering gender differences and inequalities when developing health policies, programs, and services. It ensures that both men and women have equal access to healthcare and that their specific needs are understood and addressed. This approach aims to eliminate biases, enhance health outcomes, and promote gender equality in health systems. By recognizing how gender influences health-related behavior, access to care, and disease prevalence, gender mainstreaming encourages more effective solutions that benefit everyone in the community.
