On Friday’s International Equal Pay Day, UN Women is calling for equal pay for work of equal value — a key milestone for human rights and gender equality that, despite global progress, no country has fully achieved.

A diagnosis identifies a patient’s health issue. Achieving an accurate diagnosis often requires patients and healthcare teams to work together through a complex — and sometimes lengthy — process.

When diagnoses are delayed, incorrect or missed, the consequences can be serious, leading to prolonged illness, disability or even death.
