Clips from the McKinsey newsletter Intersection
Making healthcare more inclusive
We consider a groundbreaking New Zealand law on paid leave following miscarriage, the lack of diversity among US doctors, and unmet contraception needs in Africa. Plus: the first out transgender official confirmed by the US Senate.

We consider the women doing paid care work in America.
“We are only safe if everyone’s safe”
We look at how the world is doing when it comes to vaccine equity and reflect on the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

We look at the COVID-19 pandemic’s disproportionate impact on communities of color, the US government’s move to send vaccine doses directly to community health centers, and the mental-health challenges facing working women.
