Equity & Health
The Pan American Sanitary Bureau gathers information on, and examines issues relating to, the disparities in health conditions and services in the Americas, especially as they relate to socio-economic indicators such as education, income, class, ethnicity and race, geographic location and gender.

Many of the perspectives expressed in the collection come from conceptual work developed through the Bureau's ongoing work with collaborating institutions, such as the Rockefeller Foundation and the World Bank, as well as academic and professional bodies in the region.
