💡 Per the McKinsey Health Institute and World Economic Forum Centre:
Women, on average, spend 25 percent more time in poor health than men. Closing the gender health gap could reduce the time women spend in poor health by almost two-thirds and unlocking this potential is possible with concrete steps such as investing in women-centric research to fill knowledge and data gaps.
