Policy Brief Issue 200: Global Perspectives on Health Equity: Policy Recommendations for Inclusive Healthcare

Health equity is a major concern worldwide, spanning regions and income levels. Countries recognize the importance of addressing health disparities to ensure fair access to healthcare.

Health Inequality Aversion Surveys provide insights into how different nations perceive health inequality. These surveys help measure the extent to which people prioritize equity over efficiency in healthcare decisions.

Findings show that, regardless of region or income level, people tend to prioritize the health of disadvantaged groups. This suggests a widespread commitment to reducing health disparities.

In some countries, the desire to reduce inequality is so strong that people are willing to sacrifice overall health improvements. This highlights the deep-rooted value placed on fairness in healthcare distribution.
