World report on social determinants of health equity - World Health Organisation
The WHO are a global organisation, with more than 8000 professionals as members, including leading public health experts, doctors, epidemiologists, and scientists. They coordinate the world’s response to health emergencies, promote well-being, prevent disease and expand access to health care.
This report aims to inform global, national and local policymaking, providing a foundation for coordinated action and investment in social determinants of health equity. It includes 14 specific recommendations for action within four action areas. Country examples throughout the report showcase actions and diverse strategies for actioning the report’s recommendations across different contexts.
The report was developed with input from scientific and policy advisory groups, commissioned papers and evidence reviews, extensive internal contributions across the three levels of WHO, and consultation with Member States through the Executive Board and World Health Assembly.
