Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Both sex and gender matter to health, yet both are frequently ignored, overlooked or misunderstood in health policies, programmes and practices. In this talk I will use COVID-19 as an example to explore the influence that sex and gender exert in driving health inequities. Data will be drawn from our global COVID-19 sex-disaggregated tracker, and reasons to explain differences in health outcomes seen in men and women will be outlined. The talk will also touch on evidence for how the global health system currently responds to sex and gender, and how it could do better in the future in order to improve the health of everyone.
