ABOUT THE PROJECT
Across the world, most healthcare providers are women.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, women health workers reported the poorest health outcomes.
The WHEELER study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on healthcare providers (HCPs) across all levels of Kenya’s healthcare system. It focuses on work-related changes and disruptions to the livelihoods of healthcare workers and the gendered impact of the pandemic.
Through this research, we can build inclusive, gender sensitive, and resilient healthcare systems in lower- and middle-income countries, especially during public health crises.
