 en PROMOTING EQUITY IN HEALTH
Giorgio Tamburlini

Abstract

To promote health equity is to address a great deal of inequities in society. It is not easy but it can be done. It requires that an upstream action is taken. This action consists of eight steps: analyse inequity, act on determinants of inequity, invest in demand for health services, invest in life cycle improvement, invest in diseases of poverty, invest in the most vulnerable, ensure good quality of health care, and assess progress using well identified equity objectives and indicators. The exact details of the strategies to address inequity in health depend on the economic, administrative, political and epidemiological circumstances of each country.
