Episode description
Taissa Vila and Elisa Pucu of The Lancet Regional Health Americas are joined by Prof. Felicia Knaul to discuss the lack of gender diversity in medical leadership in Latin America, the gap in evidence on gender dimensions of the health workforce, and how the majority of unpaid health care and caregiving is provided by women while men occupy leadership positions.
