Launch: Special Issue of the International Journal for Equity in Health on COVID-19 and inequality

Dear colleagues,

Please save the date for a webinar on 14 February 2022, 13:00-14:30 CET to launch a Special Issue on COVID-19 and inequality, which is newly published in the International Journal for Equity in Health

Background

COVID 19 has starkly revealed the depth and breadth of health inequities within and across nations. Data gathered through the course of the pandemic has been instructive not just about groups left behind, but also how data itself may be marshalled and made granular enough to ensure that attention is paid to core equity dimensions of pandemic preparedness and management.

Published in the International Journal for Equity in Health, this special issue on COVID-19 and inequalities places emphasis on the analyses, tools and initiatives of the World Health Organization.

Eight articles span various topics and domains spanning from immunization to testing, as well as information about software and databases that heighten our analytic abilities in the context of the pandemic and its impacts. The content will be of interest to researchers, analysts and policymakers interested in monitoring health inequalities, pandemic response and preparedness, as well as the social determinants of health and leaving no one behind.
