 “…..The following case studies were commissioned by WHO Regional Offices
for the World Conference on Social Determinants of Health. The case studies
present successful examples of policy action aiming to reduce health
inequities, covering a wide range of issues, including conditional cash
transfers, gender-based violence, tuberculosis programmes and maternal and
child health.

The case studies were written by individual experts and are being circulated
as draft background papers to inform discussions at the conference.
They represent the views of the authors and do not necessarily represent the
views, policies, or decisions of WHO or the governments of the countries
where the case studies are set.
