Equity is both an outcome and a process. In Global Health, inequities are often identified through differences in outcome-level health indicators based on wealth, geography, or other factors. Actions to address inequities focus on increasing access to services by expanding the physical location of those services; improving the quality of services such as available supplies and health workers; or providing financial protection against catastrophic health expenditures.
As part of their webinar series, The Future of Health Systems, Abt Associates are hosting an insightful discussion about infusing equity into health systems strengthening processes to accelerate progress toward change. The webinar will explore the important role that underserved populations play in ensuring that health systems are responsive to them and the best ways to promote this engagement.
