Gender-based inequalities have a significant impact on women’s health across all stages of their lives. This was among the key messages discussed at a round table organized in Prishtina on 21 June 2023 to tackle the pressing issue of gender bias in health service delivery. Organized by the Accessible and Quality Healthcare and Integrated Health Services, both Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation Agency in Kosovo, the round table brought together key stakeholders from the health and other sectors.Participants at the round table discussion included the Kosovo Assembly Committee for Health, Ministry of Health, general hospitals, family medicine centers, municipalities, and civil society. By pooling their knowledge and experiences, the information elicited from the expertise of the participants contributes to developing further plans for increasing the understanding of gender perspective in health service delivery, generating innovative ideas, and developing a training plan for health staff.
