WHO spotlights stalled effort to close health divide across Europe

United Nations, Sep 11 (UNI) Progress on equal access to a healthy life for all, is at a standstill across Europe, a new report by the World Health Organisation (WHO) has revealed, despite their being a clear path to close gaps in national care.
In the first-ever report of its kind, The Health Equity Status Report, authors share that in many of the 53 countries in the WHO European Region, the status of health equity has either gone unchanged, or worsened, despite government efforts to address avoidable disparities.
These challenges could be overcome “even within the lifetime of a national government of four years” said Dr Zsuzanna Jakaba, WHO Europe’s Regional Director.
