HB8 Dine-Around: The State of International Women's Health Today with Sally Stephens

Event description
May 8 - 14 is National Women's Health Week. As the department of health and human services and organizations rally to help US women understand the steps they can take to improve their health, it's hard to not think about the majority of women internationally who lack access to the basic health services we take for granted in our own county.

Did you know?:
• The number of women worldwide who had an unmet need for modern contraception in 2012 was 222 million
• In Africa, only 29 percent of women of reproductive age use modern contraception and the average number of
    children per woman is 4.7
• 40 percent of girls in sub-Saharan Africa are married before the age of 18
• There are 1.8 billion young people in the world right now (ages 10-24)... 600 million are adolescent girls. Never
    before has there been so many young people.
 
Join us for an engaging dinner discussion with Sally Stephens, senior vice president, corporate development at Medicines360, as we take a look at the state of women's health globally. For organizations like Medicines360, whose mission is to expand access to medicines for women regardless of their socioeconomic status, insurance coverage or geographic location, the key is to innovate on many different levels in order to meet the still unmet need in global women's health today.

Learning objectives
1. Gain insight into the current state of global women's health issues
2. Learn about innovations that organizations are exploring to close the gap in women's health disparity across the world
