Health Inequities: From Concepts to Practice*

WHO Regional Office for Europe, 2014

ISBN-13    9789289050548













*Abstract*

Despite remarkable health gains, inequities persist between and within
countries in the WHO European Region, and Sweden is no exception. Actions
to effectively tackle health inequities need to be carried out at all
levels of government. Regions have a key role to play because they are
close to their populations and have the power and skills to develop
efficient public health policies that may help to reduce health disparities
by changing the distribution of the social determinants of health. This
report describes the process that the Region Västra Götaland, Sweden
followed to mainstream health equity in its regional health plan; this
resulted in the adoption of the Action Plan for Health Equity in Region
Västra Götaland. This publication give an account of not only the factors
that made the Action Plan possible but also the obstacles encountered and
the measures taken to overcome them. The report illustrates how the
whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches central to the new
European health policy, Health 2020, were implemented in a real setting.
