Public policy and governance to improve health equity – sharing Australian and Thailand expertise: policy paper

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to describe key policies and programs that have addressed the social determinants of health inequities in Australia and Thailand, and tools that have been used to assess them. The focus of the paper is on health equity rather than average population health. The purpose of the paper is to enable each country to learn and consider approaches that are being used in the other, as well as share challenges and learnings relating to strategies that are common to both countries. By doing this, the paper will also provide useful tools and mechanisms that can be adapted in other countries across the region and globally" - page 1 Show more
