This collaborative work in its coming phase will focus on implementation instruments (tools/models/mechanisms) that operationalize intersectoral action to improve health equity.
In this regard we aim at broadening the participants of this collaboration and invite you to share with our institutions materials or instruments that your organization may have prepared to advance your work on ISA. We would appreciate receiving them along with your contact information in order to ensure your future participation in this collaboration.
We would appreciate your feedback on the report. Email: Daniel Albrecht at albrechtalbad@who.int.
Rapport de synthèse :
L'équité en santé grâce à l'action intersectorielle : analyse d'études de cas dans 18 pays
L'Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS) et l'Agence de la santé publique du Canada (ASPC)
URL PDF file : http://www.who.int/social_determinants/resources/health_equity_isa_2008_fr.pdf
Ce rapport fait partie de l'initiative de collaboration en plusieurs phases de l'OMS et de l'ASPC dans le but d'accroître les connaissances relatives aux approches intersectorielles et leur application. Cette initiative a permis de documenter le rapport de la Commission des déterminants sociaux de la santé, publié le 28 août 2008..
Le rapport présente les principales leçons tirées de 18 études de cas commandées dans le cadre de l'initiative. Les études de cas initiales se trouvent sur le site Web suivant : http://www.who.int/social_determinants/country_action/intersectorial_action/en/index.html (en anglais seulement).
Nous tenons à vous aviser que le travail de collaboration dans le cadre de la prochaine phase portera sur les outils de mise en œuvre (outils, modèles, mécanismes) qui rendent l'action intersectorielle opérationnelle et qui permettent d'améliorer l'équité en santé.
Nous cherchons donc à accroître le nombre de participants à cette initiative de collaboration et nous vous invitons à nous transmettre les documents ou les outils de votre organisation, qui nous permettront de faire progresser nos travaux sur l'action intersectorielle. Avec ces documents et ces outils, nous aimerions recevoir vos coordonnées afin nous puissions nous assurer que vous soyez invité à participer à l'avenir dans le cadre de l'initiative de collaboration.
Nous aimerions obtenir vos commentaires sur le rapport Daniel Albrecht albrechtalbad@who.int
Reporte de síntesis:
Equidad en salud a través de la acción intersectorial: un análisis de estudios de casos en 18 países
La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y la Agencia de Salud Pública de Canadá (ASPC)
URL PDF file: http://www.who.int/social_determinants/resources/health_equity_isa_2008_es.pdf
Este reporte es parte de una colaboración realizada en diversas fases entre la OMS y la Agencia de Salud Pública de Canadá para incrementar el conocimiento y la aplicación de experiencias efectivas de trabajo intersectorial en salud. Esta iniciativa sirvió para informar el reporte final de la Comisión sobre Determinantes de la Salud presentado a la OMS el 28 de agosto del 2008..
El reporte sintetiza lecciones clave expuestas en 18 estudios de caso que fueron comisionados bajo esta iniciativa. Los estudios de caso originales (solo en inglés por el momento) están disponibles en: http://www.who.int/social_determinants/country_action/intersectorial_action/en/index.html
La siguiente fase de esta iniciativa se enfocará en instrumentos de implementación (herramientas, modelos o mecanismos) que ponen en práctica el trabajo intersectorial para mejorar la equidad en salud.
Es este sentido, queremos ampliar los participantes de esta colaboración para lo cual los invitamos a compartir materiales que su organización haya preparado para plasmar la coordinación intersectorial.
