How can health equity be incorporated into #GlobalHealth programmes? Explore and download our resources on #HealthEquity here 🔗 linktr.ee/k4dd @rebuildconsortium.bsky.social @kerrymillington.bsky.social @lstmnews.bsky.social #WHA78

A graphic card with K4DD branding. Text reads: What is health equity? And how can it be integrated to global health programmes? In the bottom left corner there is an illustration of a person holding a megaphone and pieces of paper.

Text reads: Health equity is the absence of unfair, avoidable differences in health among groups of people. It is achieved when everyone can attain their full potential for health and wellbeing, and is achieved by prioritising the needs of those who are most vulnerable or marginalised. In the bottom left corner there is an illustration of a person holding a ladder.

Text reads: To address the root causes of health inequities we need interdisciplinary approaches which focus on social determinants of health. Health is influenced by social factors, such as environment, jobs, education, housing, food, water and sanitation. In the bottom left corner there is an illustration of a person in a wheelchair, reading a newspaper.

Text reads: Integrated, people-centred care has improved equity outcomes. Community engagement and participation, and interdisciplinary action have been seen to improve equity outcomes. Equity-oriented monitoring and evaluation is essential for assessing the progress of these approaches. In the bottom left corner is an illustration of multiple people in a circle, holding ladders, microscopes and a globe to signify collaborative working for a more equal world.
