This year’s theme, "DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality," resonates deeply with our commitment to advancing health and well-being for all. At Ifakara Health Institute, we recognize the critical role that women play in shaping the future of healthcare innovation, from research to implementation.

Today, we celebrate the incredible women within our institute and beyond—whose dedication, expertise, and leadership drive us forward. Their contributions in health research, innovation, and the community are vital in building a world where gender equality is not just a goal, but a reality.

We stand together, united in our mission to empower women, harness the power of innovation, and create a future where everyone, regardless of gender, can thrive.
