In the lead up to International Women's Day 2025, the McKinsey Health Institute hosted global health leaders for a rich discussion on the blueprint to close the women’s health gap. Women, on average, live longer than men, but spend 25 percent more time in poor health. This gap can be closed by counting, studying, caring for, including, and investing in all women.
