Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala discusses the gender health gap and how it disproportionately impacts women in developing countries. She describes her own frightening experience with a pregnancy complication and emphasizes how many maternal and neonatal deaths could be prevented with basic interventions like antenatal care and skilled birth attendants. Okonjo-Iweala also highlights issues like cervical cancer, where the majority of deaths occur in poor nations due to lack of screening and treatment. She advocates for efforts to increase access to vaccines for diseases like HPV and potentially Zika virus to help reduce health burdens on women globally.
