Social determinants of health

Action:SDH

Action on the social determinants of health (SDH) is an emerging and exciting area of public health. To support this development, WHO has created Action:SDH, an electronic Discussion Platform, which aims to foster discussion and debate and to provide a clearing house to share experiences of actions aimed at improving health equity through addressing the social determinants of health. In so doing, WHO joins forces with a range of other organizations and networks around the world that are also committed to this agenda.

The platform launch takes place in Rio, Brazil, at the World Conference on Social Determinants of Health (WCSDH) on 20th October. In follow-up to this conference, WHO looks forward to developing strong partnerships with key institutions, including WHO Collaborating Centres, to build the information content of the platform, together with its members, and to facilitate strong discussion and debate.
