THE CHALLENGES
Health inequities, aggravated by climate change, are killing people and costing billions of dollars
Health inequities are unfair and avoidable. They are caused by the social conditions that we create and tolerate.
Our systems and health workforce are not ready to address these challenges or future pandemics
The situation will only get worse if we donāt work with the most affected communities and other partners to co-create solutions
HOW WE ADDRESS THEM
We are global community of practice of innovative, socially accountable academic institutions and experts committed to eliminating health inequities. We address challenges through:
Collaborative Research and Community of Practice
We are listening and learning from communities, peers and partners to find out what works to make health more fair and accessible. We are discovering and sharing evidence and solutions to achieve health equity.
Advocacy for Equity-Oriented Policies and Strategies
Building on our research and experience we promote cross-sector policies that reduce inequities and increase access to and quality of health services in underserved communities. We advocate for polices that ensure fair access and opportunity to enter health professions and create equitable, supportive work environment for health and care workers.
Mission-Driven Consulting and Capacity Development
We leverage our collective knowledge and experience of our member institutions acrossālow, middle, and high-income countries. Our work centers on developing health and education systems ready to tackle todayās and future challenges. We strengthen local capacity to innovate and co-create, community-engaged, partnership oriented and accountable solutions.
We are committed to health4all
