Putri Widi Saraswati

Putri is a global sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) & public health professional and consultant from Indonesia, who has worked for more than seven years on sexual and reproductive health and rights and gender equity in clinical settings and with civil society.

She is a medical doctor, and also recently received a master’s degree in public health from a university in the Netherlands and is currently doing research and projects on health system strengthening and health financing in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).

She also is co-authoring a study about COVID-19 vaccination safety for vulnerable populations, leading a youth ambassador program, and serving as a scientific committee member of an Indonesian professional organization focusing on adolescent health.

Putri brings keen interests in intersectional feminism and social justice in health to her work as a health professional.

She primarily focuses on marginalized populations, which she sees as the focus of her broader mission of realizing health for everyone – across different intersecting determinants of health and identities globally, regionally, and nationally. She is active in using social media to educate and advocate for gender and health equity.

Through the Equity Initiative, Putri looks forward to engaging with Southeast Asian professionals and finding new opportunities to collaborate on global health equity.
