Description

Augustus Osborne and Morie Vandi wrote a 2026 viewpoint arguing that women's leadership in health systems needs direct support. Women form most of the health workforce yet hold few top posts in ministries, hospitals, universities, and aid bodies. The gap is sharpest in fragile and conflict-hit settings, where schooling and civic life are disrupted.

Looking through gender plus class, disability, place, and other factors, the authors trace how authority and chances are shared out. They propose four steps: online mentoring and training, local leadership incubators, reform fellowships, and shared research and advocacy networks. Without changes to workplace culture and promotion, they warn, training alone will change little.
