They have the potential to improve people’s lives not only by influencing their health, but also by enabling socio-economic development. Health systems can reduce social injustice if they are designed and managed to consider the needs of socially disadvantaged and marginalised populations. The report, Challenging Inequity Through Health Systems, outlines the pathways through which this potential can be realised. It draws on inspiring examples from countries where health systems promote social justice, including in low-income settings. Based on the evidence from multi-country analyses and in-depth case studies of specific issues, conclusions have been drawn about how to strengthen health systems to tackle health inequity. 2009-03-13T00:00:00Z http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/51107 Title: Challenging inequity through health systems : key points for the political executive, especially Ministers of Health and their senior advisors Authors: Centre for Health Policy; EQUINET; London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Abstract: From a global review of health systems, this brief presents guiding principles and steps that can be taken to tackle inequity and promote health.
