    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the current state of gender equity in health service provision.
    • To identify challenges and facilitators for implementing the gender equality duty.
    • To evaluate the extent of national progress towards gender equity in healthcare.

    Main Methods:

  • Analysis of case studies demonstrating good practice in small projects.
  • Assessment of national progress reports and Department of Health (DoH) guidance.

    • Main Results:

    • Good practices for gender equity are predominantly observed in localized, small-scale initiatives.
    • Significant gaps exist between policy requirements and national implementation of gender equity.
    • Health providers are expected to be actively working towards equity, as per DoH recommendations.

    Conclusions:

    • The mandatory gender equality duty necessitates a shift towards demonstrable equity in health services.
    • National progress in gender equity within healthcare is currently insufficient.
    • Further strategic interventions and national coordination are required to ensure widespread implementation and achieve true gender equity in health service provision.
