Strategic Focus
We research the living and health conditions of women from a gender perspective in order to transcend the biological scope and advance in the knowledge of the health-disease-death problem of women throughout the life cycle to substantiate the design of transformative healthcare proposals oriented towards social valuation of women as subjects in health. We work from an interdisciplinary perspective by linking the academic training of students of different levels of education for the promotion of women’s rights.
