WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health

The WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health was established by the World Health Organization to examine how social and economic factors influence health outcomes. It aims to identify ways to reduce health inequalities caused by factors like income, education, working conditions, and environment. The commission’s goal is to promote fairer opportunities for everyone to live healthy lives, regardless of their background or circumstances. By understanding and addressing these social influences, it seeks to improve overall health equity and create more just and healthier societies worldwide.
