Progress on #GenderEquality in health care is too slow.
Women have distinct & changing health needs at different stages of their lives. Health care should be easy to access, fair & tailored to meet each woman’s unique needs & circumstances.

Maybe the 'problem' can't be fixed in neatly defined steps, and the 'answer' doesn't conform to someone else's prescription. That doesn't mean we have to face problems all alone. It does mean we help each other most by being alongside, listening & gently understanding with care.
