WGH Switzerland supports the global Women in Global Health movement, powered by over 60,000 supporters in 90 countries – many of which LMICs, and 39 official chapters. Together, we work to challenge power and privilege for gender equity in health. Co-founded in 2015 by Dr Roopa Dhatt, Women in Global Health is supportedby volunteers from around the world.
Hosted by the Swiss-based HumanImpact5 – Hi5 Association, the WGH Switzerland Chapter is a ‘platform of platforms’ for the global health initiatives undertaken by women in Switzerland, as well as the international Geneva-based global health landscape.
WGH Switzerland welcomes people of all genders, ages, career levels, cantons, and health-related sectors. If you live in Switzerland, are a Swiss national, or work in Swiss-based organization – public or private – and identify as working in global health, join us to share the vision of Women in Global Health!
The WGH Switzerland Chapter is currently led by a core group and functions as a community.
