The
thirteen case studies contained in this publication were commissioned by the
research node of the Knowledge Network on Priority Public Health Conditions
(PPHC–KN), a WHO-based interdepartmental working group associated with the WHO
Commission on Social Determinants of Health.
The
publication is a joint product of the Department of Ethics, Equity, Trade and
Human Rights (ETH), Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical
Diseases (TDR), Special Programme of Research, Development and Research
Training in Human Reproduction (HRP), and Alliance for Health Policy and
Systems Research (AHPSR).
The case studies
describe a wealth of experiences with implementing public health programmes
that intend to address social determinants and to have a great impact on health
equity. They also document the real-life challenges in implementing such
programmes, including the challenges in scaling up, managing policy changes,
managing intersectoral processes, adjusting design and ensuring sustainability.
