The session on Gender Responsive Health Systems at HSR in Nagasaki Japan, led by experts who generously shared their professional and lived experience, was enlightening. The audience gained new perspectives, while building skills for developing patient rights, and their already vast networks to improve people-centred healthcare.  The IIGH session had a mix of presentations, simulation exercises, role plays, experience sharing and critical reflections. Participants learned how to transform built-in biases in health providers curricula, how intersectional perspectives can be integrated into built spaces of health care provisions, and how cross cutting principles of gender-responsive health care provisions can be leveraged for a more people-centred healthcare.

🌍 As COP29 unfolds, in our latest commentary in the BMJ, "We Need a Gender-Just Transition for Health Systems and Climate Action," Arthur Ng’etich, Nachilala Nkombo, Hashim Hounkpatin, Remco Van de Pas, and Johanna Riha write that meaningful progress to mitigate the climate crisis and improve health systems will only be possible with a commitment to equity, justice, and inclusion.    Building on insights from a webinar UNU-IIGH hosted on behalf of the African Community of Practice on Gender and Health, this commentary urges transforming harmful power using gender as an entry point as in three areas:  1. Confronting power imbalances in global financial systems as the current structures reinforce and widen systemic inequalities.  2. Strengthening the participatory power of communities in decision-making processes related to governance and policy.  3. Shifting power in (global) labour markets to value equitable pay, fair labour practices and recognise the essential contributions of caregiving work.
