Richard Skolnik, lecturer for Yale's Essentials of Global Health course, covers the health of women as part of a module on cross-cutting global health themes. He walks through key indicators and challenges in women's health worldwide, situating them alongside related topics the course covers elsewhere, including maternal and child health, nutrition, and humanitarian emergencies. The session is one part of a larger module that also treats environment and health, disaster response, and childhood immunization, but this lecture stays focused on women specifically, laying out the major causes of illness and death and the policy responses global health practitioners have developed. Delivered in Skolnik's plain, direct lecture style with slides supporting the data, it functions as a concise briefing rather than a deep dive into any single disease or country case, useful as an overview of where women's health sits within the broader global health field.
