全球卫生领域的领导职位严重偏向男性;这种不平衡在低收入和中等收入国家更为明显。妇女在领导层任职人数不足是对性别平等的威胁，也影响到全球妇女健康成果的改善。在这篇观点文章中，我们断言，促进和保留妇女在全球卫生领导地位会产生涟漪反应，可以改善全球卫生成果。我们提出了务实、可行的解决方案，以促进和留住该领域的全球女性健康领导者。
Leadership positions in global health are greatly skewed toward men; the imbalance is more pronounced in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The under-representation of women in leadership is a threat to gender equality, and also impacts the improvement of women's health outcomes globally. In this perspectives piece, we assert that the promotion and retention of women in global health leadership has a ripple effect that can achieve improvement in global health outcomes. We present pragmatic, actionable solutions to promote and retain female global health leaders in this field.
