She came for care, was she heard? Why gender & health equity matter

This documentary explores how gender, health equity and social realities shape access to and experiences of primary healthcare in Pakistan. It highlights practical approaches that are making public healthcare more responsive, inclusive and people-centred.

It demonstrates how clearer communication, improved healthcare environments and the integration of gender and equity into routine practice can raise the quality of care for everyone.
