Health Equity Assessment Framework

The Health Equity Assessment Framework is a tool used to evaluate how health policies, programs, or services impact different groups within a population, especially those who face disadvantages. It helps identify where inequalities exist and suggests ways to improve health outcomes for marginalized or vulnerable groups. By systematically reviewing data and considering social factors, the framework promotes fair access to healthcare, ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to achieve good health. It supports decision-making aimed at reducing disparities and creating a more just and inclusive health system.
