Abstract

Gender inequalities affect all aspects of society, including political, economic, and social domains—and health systems are no exception. This paper proposes a concise theoretical framework to analyze the multiple gendered dimensions within health systems, based on the World Health Organization’s classification of core health system functions. By examining financing, governance, resource generation, and service provision, the framework highlights how gender disparities are embedded in institutional structures and practices. Specific evidence from recent studies is included to illustrate these dynamics. Ultimately, the proposed framework aims to serve for the research project on the historical development of public health systems.
