Explorations of Inequality: Childhood Immunization
This report takes a detailed look at the current status of childhood immunization in 10 priority countries: Afghanistan Chad Democratic Republic of the Congo Ethiopia India Indonesia Kenya Nigeria Pakistan and Uganda. In each country childhood immunization coverage is broken down by multiple factors to show inequality according to child mother household and geographical characteristics. Then the report employs multiple regression analysis to identify factors that are associated with immunization coverage. A multicountry assessment illustrates similarities and differences between countries. The findings of the report show how a child?s likelihood of being vaccinated is affected by compounding advantage or vulnerability; they also provide insight into how policies programmes and practices can be targeted to promote universal childhood immunization coverage. Interactive visuals and tables accompany the report enabling further exploration of the data.

Health equity for persons with disabilities
Health equity for persons with disabilities – Guide for action, referred to as the Disability inclusion guide for action, provides practical guidance on the process that ministries of health should lead on to integrate disability inclusion into health systems governance, planning, and monitoring processes. It serves as the foundational resource to enable ministries of health and partners to implement the recommendations in the WHO Global report on health equity for persons with disabilities. It supports Member States to meet commitments to “leave no one behind” and achieve the highest attainable standard of health for all people, as outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), and World Health Assembly resolution 74.8 on the highest attainable standard of health for persons with disabilities.
Handbook for conducting assessments of barriers to effective coverage with health services
According to the most recent data available , 4.5 billion people were not fully covered by essential health services in their countries in 2021. Likewise, in 2019, the total population experiencing financial hardship was estimated to be 2 billion people. To scale up action to leave no one behind, WHO’s Fourteenth General Programme of Work, 2025-2028 (GPW 14) has an explicit and strong commitment to equity. In support of this, WHO has released a handbook with methods for the identification of barriers to effective coverage with health services. The 8-module handbook applies mixed method research approaches -- grounded in the Tanahashi framework for effective coverage -- to focus on barriers...
