Global Health Project Showcase

Description

Susan Harvey, the vice president for global medical affairs at Hologic, will give the keynote for the Global Health Project Showcase titled "Hologic Global Women's Health Index — A Large and Unique Dataset." The showcase features five exciting projects in global health innovation and is hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Bioengineering Innovation & Design and Bloomberg School of Public Health.

The Hologic Global Women's Health Index is a multiyear, comprehensive global survey about women's health. We interviewed more than 120,000 women and men in 116 countries and territories in more than 140 languages. The results are shared in this report and distributed to global leaders and policymakers around the world. Our goal is to call to action world leaders to improve women's health, to change lives, support greater development and address longstanding inequalities.
