To make universal health (UHC) truly universal we need an approach which places gender and power at the centre of our analysis. This entails examining how gender affects who is included, which services are provided, how services are funded, who decides what is included and who provides services.
RinGs is strengthening gender analysis within UHC through 1) developing the evidence base on gender and UHC; 2) advocating for the importance of incorporating gender within health priority setting and UHC approaches; and 3) building capacity of health systems researchers and practitioners to undertake gender and ethics analysis.

This poster will be presented at the Prince Mahidol Conference in January 2016. For more information about gender and UHC read our policy brief: Ten arguments for why gender should be a central focus for universal health coverage advocates.
