Monitoring equity and research to policy 50th ECSA Regional Health Ministers Conference calls for monitoring of inequalities in health and EQUINET implements the EQUITY WATCH The 50th ECSA Regional Health Ministers Conference, noting the 30th and 34th HMC resolutions on ensuring health equity and that it will be difficult and in some cases not possible to achieve the MDGs without reducing health inequalities, urged Member States to report on evidence on health equity and progress in addressing inequalities in health and directed the Secretariat to strengthen capacities and measures to monitor and report on progress in addressing inequalities in health.
Drawing from its analysis of equity at regional level in east and southern Africa, and the theme work over the past ten years, EQUINET has developed a framework for analysing equity at country level. This analysis does not simply focus on measuring inequity but also measures the extent to which measures that are known to enhance equity in health are being implemented within health systems. This equity watch is a tool for planners, policy makers, civil society organisations and researchers to assess progress towards policy goals of equity in health held in all countries in east and southern Africa. |
