Lunch Hour Lectures - Autumn 2013

Dr Sarah Hawkes, UCL Population Health Sciences

Men take more risks with their health, get sicker, and die younger than women do. But policies focusing on the health needs of men are notably absent from the strategies of global health organisations. This talk will discuss how we might move forward to develop truly gender-equitable global health goals.
