The role of women in global health is integral, yet underappreciated in the larger context of healthcare development and policy-making. Women play a multifaceted role as health professionals, caregivers, community health workers, and policymakers. However, they also face numerous challenges, including limited access to education, healthcare inequalities, and social stigma, which hinder their contributions to global health. This article examines these challenges and explores the opportunities available for enhancing the role of women in improving global health outcomes. By addressing issues such as gender inequality, access to healthcare, and women's leadership in health sectors, the paper aims to shed light on the pivotal role women play in transforming global health systems. Through data analysis and case studies, this article presents a roadmap for empowering women and creating sustainable, inclusive healthcare solutions.
