WCAPS WORK ON COVID-19
WCAPS and Global Health Working Group (GHWG) know the importance of women when it comes to the effectiveness of prevention, preparedness, detection, responses to outbreaks, like COVID-19 and other global challenges. We have developed a list of women of color experts on global health and we have partnered with Women in Global Health (WIGH) for an initiative #Operation5050 on a larger list of women who work in the field of global health. We will continue to provide information on the webpage on our engagements on COVID-19.
