Health equity to me means all people have the opportunity, capacity and ability to have their health needs met. It means fairness; in access to quality health care and services.
Lily hails from Lilongwe, Malawi. An advocate for gender equality, she is passionate about increasing access to healthcare in marginalized communities and using evidence to inform public policy and programs.
