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.
