FYI Jane Sandall Sent from my iPhone [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Begin forwarded message: From: "Ruggiero, Mrs. Ana Lucia (WDC)" <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Date: 13 May 2013 18:35:26 BST To: <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Subject: [EQ] Revitalized content on Social Determinants of Health in the WHO website now available Reply-To: "Equity, Health & Human Development" <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Revitalized content on “social determinants of health” in the WHO website now available Website: http://bit.ly/hICrDy Since the World Conference on Social Determinants of Health in Rio de Janeiro last 2011, there has been a surge of interest and commitment among different stakeholders, especially WHO Member States, to addressing the social determinants of health to achieve health equity. In order to support this growing global movement, the Secretariat now launches a newly-revitalized website that captures the considerable body of work done since the launch of the report of the WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health in 2008. The website’s contents are more accessible and better organized, and include useful information on the following areas: · Evidence: An enormous amount of evidence has been established by WHO and its partners on the various themes covered by the Commission’s work – from early child development to globalization – as well as on previous experiences by countries and international institutions in addressing the social determinants of health. · Action: WHO, in cooperation with Member States, other UN agencies, and other sectors, has initiated programs and activities that implement the five action areas of the Rio Political Declaration on Social Determinants of Health, which was endorsed by WHO Member States during the 65th World Health Assembly in 2012. · Global commitments: This part features key documents, resolutions, and declarations that express the political commitment of WHO, its Member States, and the global community to the social determinants of health approach. The revised website also highlights up-to-date progress on the implementation of the social determinants approach at national and global levels. In addition, it showcases relevant publications as well as learning tools that aim to build capacity for acting on social determinants and translate knowledge into policy and practice.
