Global monitoring of action on the social determinants of health

News Hour:

WHO invites Member States and organizations or individuals to contribute their feedback on a proposed monitoring framework for action on Social Determinants of Health (SDH) and its indi­cators, as presented in the consultation document. The framework and its indicators reflect pledges made in the Rio Political Declaration on the Social Determinants of Health that was endorsed by the World Health Assembly (WHA) in WHA resolution 65.8.

The vision of SDH-focused monitoring is to support sharing of country experiences and the strengthening of national monitoring capacities. This involves developing practical information resources on current monitoring systems and international norms and standards related to SDH-focused monitoring systems.
