International Review of Health Equity Strategies – Executive Summary

Jurisdictions across the world have adopted strategies to enhance health equity. Some have developed approaches to promote health equity within their health systems while others have developed intersectoral approaches to tackle social determinants of health within and beyond the health sector.

Health Quality Ontario is currently developing its equity strategy with the aim of providing equal care for all Ontarians. The International Review of Health Equity Strategies aims to inform the development of Health Quality Ontario’s equity strategy. The full report identifies and describes strategies developed by Canadian and international jurisdictions to enhance health equity within and beyond the health sector.

These reports were written by Wellesley Institute for Health Quality Ontario.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
