How addressing gender equality improves health for all
Stanford Global Health leader and pediatrician Gary Darmstadt, MD, MS has long been driven by a desire to reduce disparities and improve health outcomes for mothers and children around the world. Over the years, he and global colleagues set out to research the relationship between gender and health outcomes — and develop a framework for addressing the root causes of these disparities. A new report by the Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health, published this spring, seeks to raise awareness of how gender inequality impacts health outcomes.
At Stanford Global Health, we share knowledge, equip leaders, and build teams to address urgent global health challenges. All our efforts are centered around our core value of achieving health equity for all.
Human and Planetary Health
Climate change and environmental degradation threaten human health. Stanford’s interdisciplinary teams seek to understand the impact of our changing world and to find solutions that help people and protect the planet.
We collaborate with organizations like WomenLift Health, founded by CIGH, to drive impactful change for women leaders in global health and research topics such as the role of male allyship in advancing female leadership.
In partnership with those most impacted, we aim to enhance clinical care and improve the lives of vulnerable and underserved populations – with an emphasis on refugees and migrants impacted by conflict and climate change.
