Abstract: While gender is increasingly acknowledged as a powerful determinant of health and healthcare access, contemporary societies remain riddled by the prevalence of gendered healthcare disparities. By contrasting existing research from the Global North and the Global South, this chapter conceptualises the complexity of the interplay between gender, healthcare systems, and public policy as a policy paradox. The chapter reveals how multi-level policy approaches targeted at gender health equality can contradict institutional structures, ultimately influencing the formulation and implementation of gender health policy that shape health outcomes and access to healthcare.
