Routine monitoring of health inequities and the social determinants of health are critical to improving population health and in reducing avoidable difference in health opportunities and risks. However, this area remains generally limited or marginal within health intelligence functions and mainstream policy practice.
The WHO Regional Office for Europe through its Office for Investment for Health and Development (WHO Venice Office) is organizing a multi-country event, in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine of P.J. Safarik University and the Kosice Institute for Society and Health (KISH), focusing on applied research and policy analysis on social determinants of health and health inequities.
Aims
