Across the globe, women face a health gap. While their life expectancies exceed those of men, women spend 25% more of their lives in poor health. In other words, while the average woman’s lifespan might be longer, her “health span” is not.
Megan Greenfield, partner at McKinsey & Company, joins us to discuss “Closing the Women’s Health Gap: A $1 Trillion Opportunity to Improve Lives and Economies,” a report by the World Economic Forum and the McKinsey Health Institute.
Broadway Bites is a monthly speaker series at Swissnex on Broadway in Cambridge, bringing inspiring guests from our global network to give a talk on their work.
