For the Week of HIM PE 05 24 2023 DEI Weekly Wrap Up 20: Global Women's Health Index
Of the 116 countries ranked in the 2021 Global Women's Health Index, the United States came in 23rd for women's health — a worldwide demographic, data shows. The index, measured annually by Gallup and Hologic — a Marlborough, Mass.-based medical technology company focused on women's health — surveyed women in each country. Each country is then ranked on women's preventive care, basic needs, emotional health, opinions of health and safety, and individual health to produce a cumulative score out of 100. Globally, women's health scored a 54, with no country scoring better than 69.
