impact of social and environmental factors on health inequalities has long been
recognized, but little is known about how public policy can tackle these
factors. </span></font><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Genuinely pro-equity
health policy is needed, addressing not only income but all systematic
disparities in health between more and less advantaged social groups. Some
countries, including Sweden, the United Kingdom, Chile and Mexico, have taken steps in this direction. A major initiative is needed to compile evidence
and support policy innovation in this critical domain. WHO should support this
process as part of its commitment to strengthen health systems, which must be
linked to multisectoral action for equity in health…..”</span></font></p>
