Women’s Health conference is convened in the lead of Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) Family Welfare Division (FWD) in Kathmandu with the support of Australian Aid, Open Heart International and Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) as a host. The Conference aims to promote and strengthen the interconnectedness of research, training, policy making, practice and advocacy evidence to expand women’s health agenda in Nepal. To that end, it will provide a platform for participants to discuss and disseminate evidence on what works and what doesn’t work and how successful programmes can be expanded to reach different groups in society. Specifically, the conference aims to:

• To provide a platform for the WHaSS and other researchers to disseminate their training, research, policy and practice engagement approaches and outcomes to a wider audience.
• To showcase innovations and successes in women’s health training, education, practices, research and policy engagements from other intervention programmes and projects across Nepal.
• To strengthen partnerships and collaboration among policy makers and practitioners in the areas of women’s health.
• To identify priority women’s health areas to inform policy and practice to improve universal health status and services among women.
