Fit for women? Safe and decent PPE for women health and care workers. Excecutive Summary

Women for Global Health WGH (2022) CC

One of the many gender inequities in the health and care workforce that COVID-19 has exposed is around the fit and design of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The rapid onset and scale of COVID-19 led to shortages of PPE in most countries, causing preventable infection and mortality among healthcare workers and others on the front lines. Even though most health workers are women, manufacturing specifications for medical PPE are usually drawn up based on the male body and there have been many reports of PPE not designed for women's bodies. WGH undertook a global research project to document the challenges women health workers have faced

Adaptés aux femmes? EPI surs et décents pour les femmes dans le secteur de la santé des soins

Women for Global Health WGH (2022) CC

Janvier 2022. L'une des nombreuses inégalités entre les sexes dans le secteur de la santé et des soins que COVID-19 a révélées concerne l'ajustement et la conception des équipements de protection individuelle (EPI). L'apparition rapide et l'ampleur de COVID-19 ont entraîné des pénuries d'EPI dans la plupart des pays, provoquant des infections et des décès évitables parmi les travailleurs de la santé et d'autres personnes en première ligne. Bien que la plupart des travailleurs de la santé soient des femmes, les spécifications de fabrication des EPI médicaux sont généralement établies en fonction du corps masculin et de nombreux cas d'EPI non conçus pour le corps des femmes ont été signalés. WGH a entrepris un projet de recherche mondial afin de documenter les défis auxquels les travailleuses de la santé sont confrontées

Apto para mujeres? Mejora del equipo de protección personal (EPP) para las mujeres trabajadoras de la salud y el cuidado

Women for Global Health WGH (2022) CC

Una de las muchas desigualdades de género en el personal sanitario y asistencial que COVID-19 ha puesto de manifiesto es la relativa al ajuste y el diseño de los equipos de protección individual (EPP). La rápida aparición y la escala de COVID-19 condujeron a la escasez de EPP en la mayoría de los países, causando infecciones y mortalidad prevenibles entre los trabajadores de la salud y otros en primera línea. A pesar de que la mayoría de los trabajadores sanitarios son mujeres, las especificaciones de fabricación de los EPI médicos suelen estar elaboradas en función del cuerpo masculino y se han registrado muchos casos de EPI no diseñados para el cuerpo de las mujeres. El WGH emprendió un proyecto de investigación global para documentar los retos a los que se enfrentan las trabajadoras sanitarias
