11. How to reduce health inequities? Put health on the development agenda Put equity on the health agenda

12. Putting health on development agenda Increase resource flows to health (e.g., GFATM, GAVI, IHP) and improve resource allocation Advocacy: promote understanding of health as central to development (e.g., MDGs/SDGs) Cross-sectoral work: address non-health sector determinants of health inequities (e.g., national socioeconomic development plans)

13. Understand patient pathway and barriers to access Putting equity on health agenda

14. Tackle barriers to access faced by underserved groups: Geographical barriers: target/prioritize underserved areas Economic barriers: reduce out-of-pocket expenditure, consider targeted subsidies to underserved groups Low knowledge/awareness: language, gender, ethnicity barriers Stigma, fear of social isolation Lack of health system responsiveness: improve quality, reduce provider bias, contracting service delivery Putting equity on health agenda

15. Gender and health: the links Men’s and women’s health is determined both by their biological and gender-based characteristics. Due to gender norms, roles and relations, there are differences between different groups of men and women in: –exposure to risk factors or vulnerability –household-level investment in nutrition, care and education –access to and use of health services –their experiences in health care settings –the social impact of ill-health Gender intersects with equity & human rights

16. Gender analysis can… Identify differentials between different groups of men and women in: –risk factors, exposures and manifestations of ill-health –severity and frequency of diseases –health seeking behaviour –access to care, experiences in health care settings –outcomes and impact of ill-health

17. Gender analysis can… Distinguish between health determinants that are: –common to different groups of women and men (incl. LGBT) –sex- and gender-related because each may require a different type of intervention Identify appropriate responses and their potential impact on gender power relations

22. In monitoring and evaluation: Disaggregate information by income, sex, ethnicity, rural-urban residence, employment status, etc. Conduct operational research to: –Analyze incidence of benefits: do the poor benefit at least proportionately? why or why not? –Identify and evaluate options Improve health system responsiveness
