[afro-nets] The Health Systems Knowledge Network of the WHO Commission on the Social Determinants of Health

["Maureen Mosselson" <maureen.mosselsohn@nhls.ac.za>]

>From September 2005 to March 2007 the Centre for Health Policy led a consortium appointed as the organisational hub of the Health Systems Knowledge Network of the World Health Organisation's Commission on the Social Determinants of Health. The other consortium partners were EQUINET, a Southern and Eastern African network devoted to promoting health equity (http://www.equinetafrica.org/), and the Health Policy Unit of the London School of Hygiene in the United Kingdom (http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/hpu ). The Commission itself is a global strategic mechanism to improve equity in health and health care through action on the social of determinants of health at global, regional and country level. The Commission's recently released final report as well as its background papers can be found on the CHP web site at:  http://www.wits.ac.za/chp/hskn.htm . More on the work of the Commission can be found http://www.who.int/social_determinants/en/.
