Gender and Health Group Publications

The group has produced Guidelines for the Analysis of Gender and Health in developing countries with the financial support of the UK Government's Department for International Development (DFID). These guidelines aim to enhance the ability to understand and respond to gender issues amongst those involved in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of health care provision and health research.
