The World Health Organization Frameworks
The World Health Organization (WHO) has Released New Guidance on Monitoring the Social Determinants of Health Equity: The World Health Organization (WHO) has released an operational framework for monitoring social determinants of health equity and actions addressing them. This critical new guidance aims to support countries in evidence-based policymaking to improve health equity, towards the goal of enabling everyone, everywhere, to attain the highest possible standard of health and well-being.
The conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, and people’s access to power, money and resources—also called the social determinants of health—affect their health and well-being. These same factors drive health inequity within and across countries. Recent and ongoing crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and conflict across the world, further exacerbate inequities and highlight the urgent need for governments to rebuild societies in ways that benefit everyone.
