If we want girls and women to be able to thrive, we first have to ensure that they are healthy.

Each year, one billion people do not receive the health services they need. For girls and women, lack of access to care is compounded by other factors: stigma around mental health, the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), gender-based violence, and out-of-pocket costs, to name a few. 

And yet, there are already demonstrated strategies that can break down these barriers. From implementing women-centered care, to innovating health financing through Universal Health Coverage, to tackling NCDs like diabetes in pregnancy, there are concrete solutions that can improve the health of girls and women right now.

This month, join us in promoting access to comprehensive health services, because as we all know, healthy girls and women are the cornerstone of healthy societies.
