The event will take place on September 22\, 2025. \nAcross every region outlined by the World Health Organization\, women experience longer life expectancies than men. However\, women have a shorter health expectancy\, equating to more years where their quality of life is reduced due to disease or injury. This trend has worsened since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Women experience unique challenges over the course of their lifespans\, due to biological sex differences in health and disease\, as well as sociocultural influences related to gender. Gender health gaps persist in research investment for conditions that disproportionately affect women\, policies that should ensure equitable access to health care and resources\, and the development of workforces that train and promote women in health care delivery and leadership. \n“Transforming Women’s Health through Science & Sustainable Partnerships” discussed key developments and opportunities to advance women’s health research\, education\, and policies\, presenting insights from successful models employed from grassroot initiatives to international collaborations. Attendees discussed strategies to implement change in their respective jurisdictions and have opportunities to forge collaborations across the women’s health care and policy ecosystem. \nRead takeaways from the UNGA80 event on the blog: Collaborating for Women’s Health at the UNGA80 Science Summit \nCheck out SWHR’s event at the UNGA79 last year as well: Women’s Unique Health Needs and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) \nFor any questions about attending this event\, please email info@swhr.org. \n  URL:https://swhr.org/event/transforming-womens-health-through-science-and-sustainable-partnerships/ CATEGORIES:Conference or Symposium,Public Event,Science Event,SWHR Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250924 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250927 DTSTAMP:20250709T142309Z CREATED:20250709T142309Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250709T142309Z UID:10000940-1758672000-1758931199@swhr.org SUMMARY:Women’s Health Conference DESCRIPTION:Building Equality for Women’s Health Lifelong 3rd edition \nJoin hosts in Paris in 2025!

Diagnostic tests and procedures offer opportunities to detect diseases earlier\, guide intervention choices\, and monitor and evaluate treatment effectiveness. Some diagnostic tests are invasive\, such as a biopsy or endoscopy\, whereas others are noninvasive\, such as x-rays and ultrasound imaging procedures. \nScreening and diagnostic testing can help improve health outcomes and contribute toward reducing health disparities among women. Research seeking to expand the development and availability of diagnostic tools for conditions that exclusively\, differently\, or disproportionately affect women is invaluable in furthering women’s health across sectors. \nSWHR is hosting a series of public forums to share educational information about the importance and value of innovative diagnostics throughout the lifespan and across disease states and conditions. The events will discuss how to improve health outcomes for diseases and conditions that disproportionately or differently affect women\, with special a focus on maternal health. \nThe 2025 SWHR Value of Diagnostics within Women’s Health series includes: \n\nApplying Pressure to Diagnose Preeclampsia Better and Earlier (September 29\, 2025)\nFrom Screening to Solutions in Gestational Diabetes Diagnostics (November\, 20\, 2025)\n\nThis is an SWHR Event.
