Focusing Attention On Population, Reproductive Health Issues
"As representatives of the World Health Organization Member States arrive in Geneva this week for the 65th World Health Assembly, I feel a cautious optimism about the future, and the future health of Africa," Joy Phumaphi, co-chair of the Aspen Global Leaders Council for Reproductive Health, writes in this post in the Huffington Post Blog. "With two female heads of state in Africa - Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in Liberia and Joyce Banda in Malawi - women's health and gender equality are no longer marginalized, they have become central to a nation's potential for development and prosperity," she continues, adding the two "share a vision and passionate resolve to improve the lives of women in Africa -- and like me they are founding members of the Aspen Institute's Global Leaders Council for Reproductive Health."
