Blueprint to Close the Women’s Health Gap: How to Improve Lives and Economies for All

New research by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey Health Institute finds that 9 health conditions account for 1/3 of the women’s health gap, and addressing these could unlock a staggering $400bn in global GDP by 2040. One of the 9 conditions is breast cancer. IHE contributed with our expertise in this area to the report.
