Welcome to the debut edition of the Global BHP BrainTrust Newsletter– the first of our quarterly reports to members and the global business/health/financial and scientific communities. We have joined together because we believe we are at a critical moment in defining and understanding the global challenges and opportunities facing women. The global pandemic has shone a harsh spotlight on systemic issues that undermine our health and well-being. It is the reason we seek to engage world leaders to create policies that address the economic inequities that brain diseases and mental health issues create across the lifespan.
