Build back fairer: achieving health equity in the Eastern Mediterranean Region: report of the commission on social determinants of health in the Eastern Mediterranean Region – executive summary

Analysis undertaken for this Commission on the Social Determinants of Health in the EMRO is closely aligned to evidence from around the world about the critical role of social determinants in driving health inequities within and between countries. Inequities in the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, and what we label the structural drivers of those conditions – political, economic, cultural and environmental influences – produce inequities in health. Action to improve health equity must be centred around action on the social determinants of health. We draw on evidence and analysis from previous WHO Commissions, including the 2008 Commission on the Social Determinants of Health, and Commissions in the Region of the Americas and European Region, as well as evidence from national commissions.
