“Over the past decades there have been remarkable improvements to human health around the world. Yet, further progress remains hampered by persistent inequalities between and within populations. Robust health inequality monitoring systems and practices are needed to identify and address unfair differences in health and ensure no one is left behind in the pursuit of better health for all.
The forthcoming WHO book Health inequality monitoring: harnessing data to advance health equity is a comprehensive and contemporary resource for health inequality monitoring, consolidating foundational and emerging knowledge in the field. It aims to support the expansion and strengthening of health inequality monitoring practices across different applications around the world, in service of the broader goal of advancing health equity.
The book covers a range of topics, spanning the importance and general applications of health inequality monitoring, to ways to align monitoring activities to generate impact. It details strategies for sourcing and using data for health inequality monitoring, as well as techniques for analyzing, interpreting and reporting health inequality data. The book was developed for a diverse readership, including technical experts (e.g. statistical, planning, and monitoring and evaluation officers), public health professionals, researchers, analysts and students.
A webinar will be held on 11 December 2024, 13:00-14:15 CET to mark the release of the book. Book contributors will introduce this new resource, and a panel of health equity experts will explore the theme “harnessing data to advance health equity”.
Simultaneous interpretation will be available in Arabic, French and Spanish.
