Fredag 24. juni 2022 organiserte FHI v/klynge for global helse et webinar om nasjonale folkehelseinstitutters rolle i å adressere sosial ulikhet i helse under Covid19-pandemien.
- Se opptak av webinaret - Passord: *b4Wj*w!
Covid19-pandemien har rammet allerede sårbare grupper og land hardest, både direkte gjennom økt sårbarhet for smitte og alvorlig sykdom, og indirekte gjennom samfunnsinngripende smittevernstiltak. Nasjonale folkehelseinstitutter kan spille en viktig rolle i å bidra til å begrense ulikhetene, for eksempel gjennom å bidra med data om hvordan ulike grupper rammes, forskning på effekt av smitteverntiltak, og gjennom samarbeid med ulike sektorer, lokale myndigheter og befolkningsgrupper.
Webinaret ble organisert i samarbeid med The International Association of National Public Health Institutes (IANPHI), og med støtte fra Verdens Helseorganisasjons (WHO) Department for Social Determinants of Health Equity.
Representanter fra folkehelsemyndigheter i en rekke ulike land deltok: Brasil, Canada, Finland, India, Sør-Afrika, Tunisia, Tyskland, og USA.
Diskusjonene på webinaret vil bidra til WHOs pågående utarbeidelse av: «The World Report on Social Determinants of Health Equity» som skal være klar i januar 2023.
