Not listening to women can mean that important contributions are missed. Women play a crucial role in delivering important health services and are the backbone of health.

In today’s episode of Pasha, Rhoda Wanyenze, Dean of Makerere University School of Public Health, discusses how crucial it is for women to be acknowledged in global health issues.
