By taking bold action to close the gender gap, the healthcare and life-sciences industry can achieve more.

During the past few decades, gender parity has been of increasing priority for most companies around the world. Research shows that greater gender balance drives better business results, more innovation and high employee retention. For the past 40 plus years, the HBA has been relentlessly working alongside prominent organizations to further the advancement and impact of women in the business of healthcare. Our sector has made great strides towards a more gender diverse workplace, but the pace of change is still too slow. We can do much better. Faster.
