GLOBAL HEALTH PROGRAMME: 300 WOMEN LEADERS IN GLOBAL HEALTH
1
300 WOMEN LEADERS IN GLOBAL HEALTH
In November 2014, Ilona Kickbusch, director of the Global Health Programme
at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, launched a
Twitter campaign aimed at showcasing female leadership in global health. Using
the hashtag #WGH100, Twitter users sent nominations of women working at the
forefront of global health from around the world. The 100 Women Leaders in Global
Health list was published on December 15th, 2014 and enjoyed tremendous reach
across social media. This profile was further increased when the Lancet published
the feature “Twitter campaign highlights top women in global health”, which led
to further nominations of female leaders to be included on such a list. The hashtag
#WGH200 was created as a result and greatly surpassed its target, demonstrating
the remarkable response in highlighting the work of women in this domain. In this
expanded list, we have included the first 300 nominations compiled of the many
women leaders nominated and among innumerable others working to promote
global health. Going forward, we encourage this list’s participants, nominees, and
audience to continue to recognise women leaders and ensure that this diversity is
reflected in all discussions and decisions shaping global health.
The women listed are ordered alphabetically by surname with affiliations taken
directly from Twitter profiles or third-party sources. Many women were nominated
multiple times, though only the initial nominator is noted. An asterisk (*) denotes
those who appeared on the original 100 Women in Global Health list. All Twitter
usernames and bitly links are hyperlinked for easy reference.

The Global Health Programme (GHP) is the
Graduate Institute’s research, training and
capacity building programme focusing on
global health governance and diplomacy. It
is one of the first of its kind and it reflects the
wider trend in both the practice and analysis
of global health, which pays increasing
attention to the links between health, foreign
policy, trade and development.
The Global Health Programme builds
capacity by engaging in research, knowledge
translation and diffusion as well as by
conducting extensive executive training in
global health diplomacy for and with major
stakeholders in Geneva and worldwide.
The Global Health Programme is also unique
as a research institution integrated into
an institute of international relations and
development. It engages in applied research
and provides academic and innovative
analysis on health as a governance challenge.

Woman Leader in Global Health
175 Barbara Lee
“Highlighting the
contribution of women in
advancing global health
helps to balance the
picture and reinforces
the universality of the
cause. Since most health
decisions globally are
made by women, it’s
particularly important
to highlight their
contribution and to
showcase women as role
models and exemplars.” Michael Eriksen , Founding Dean of the School of Public
Health at Georgia State University, US

GLOBAL HEALTH PROGRAMME: 300 WOMEN LEADERS IN GLOBAL HEALTH
“Globally, women experience a disproportionate burden
of disease and death due to inequities in access to
basic health care, nutrition, and education. In the face
of this disparity, it is striking that leadership in the field
of global health is highly skewed towards men and that
global health organizations neglect the issue of gender
equality in their own leadership.” Increasing women in leadership in global health
JA Downs, LK Reif, A Hokororo & DW Fitzgerald
