In the third edition of Research Watch we highlight health and how it cannot be divorced from equity. We examine the short and long term social and economic impact of investing in equity-focussed health care programmes and targeting hard-to-reach women and children.
The Debate brings together Dr Cesar Victora, President of the International Epidemiological Association, Dr Janet Vega, the Director of the Centre for Epidemiology and Public Health policy in Chile, and Dr Mickey Chopra, UNICEF's Chief of Health.
In Look Out For Dr Christopher Garimoi Orach from Makerere University School of Public Health, Kampala, gives an insight into research on the unmet needs of new and expectant mothers in displaced populations in Uganda, and Gavin Mooney from the University of Cape Town discusses research on the impact of health care payments on families, and in particular on the well-being of children. Prof. Sofia Gruskin, Director of the Program on Global Health and Human Rights at the USC Institute for Global Health provides a Commentary on the interplay of Equity, Human Rights and Health.
