Europe’s Strategy to Fight COVID-19: Reflections on Different Response Strategies
Women in Global Health Chapters in Sweden, Norway, Germany and Finland kindly invite you to a joint seminar on “Europe’s Strategy to Fight COVID-19: Reflections
The WGH Sweden chapter constitutes a platform for making women visible in and beyond the global health area, expanding networking opportunities for women, and providing mutual support to each other.
The chapter will advance the vision and mission of the global organisation, focusing on advancing work nationally, but also regionally and globally as an active member of the growing WGH global organisation.
The objective of the Swedish chapter is to increase the visibility of women in the global health network and beyond, to extend the network opportunities, to meet regularly and to foster mutual support. It will serve as an easy reference to these women to be taken into consideration for leadership positions, decision-making bodies, and presentations and talks on panels and conferences.

In 2018, Government Offices of Sweden launched a framework for Sweden’s work on global health –implementing the 2030 Agenda. For its implementation thematic Swedish Networks for Global Health grew organically. The added value of these networks is the enabling of multisectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration around global health, allowing a large number of Swedish actors to come together through coordinated and joint action.
In 2019, Women in Global Health Sweden (WGHSweden), a Swedish chapter under the international organization Women in Global Health, was launched at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm. The network consists of its members of supporters, a board and a senior advisory group that supports the board in the strategic development of the network and in the initiation of activities. SIGHT supports the overall work with the Swedish Networks for Global Health and stimulates synergies between thematic areas and networks.
