With increased migration around the world posing unique challenges and opportunities for health systems, efforts to better integrate and include migrants and host communities in national health systems are an integral part of the global health equity agenda. 

This brief introduces the social determinants of health (SDOH) concept and terminology, and discusses approaches to addressing SDOH. Understanding these root causes of health inequities and their impact on health care access, quality, and equity is crucial to strengthening health systems.

This brief includes a global evidence review of DFS for health conducted by LHSS and an analysis of two programmatic case studies of DFS for health by Management Sciences for Health (MSH) through the Digital Square initiative.

This Spanish document contains the impact and lessons learned from the intervention Strengthening Information, Education and Communication (IEC) Capacities carried out by Uniminuto to strengthen IEC processes in the communication offices of municipal, district or departmental health secretariats.

This Spanish document contains the impact and lessons learned from the health networks intervention carried out by Profamilia to strengthen the capacities and knowledge of 21 IPS in the cities of Bogotá – Soacha, Medellín, Cúcuta, Bucaramanga, Cali, Barranquilla, and Santa Marta.

This Catalog allows practitioners to consider which interventions have more robust evidence bases to support their practical application, such as: enhancing worker and supervisor competencies through training, offering nonfinancial incentives for high performers, practicing task sharing to promote cost savings, implementing digital solutions to expand access to services, and reducing costs of procuring and distributing pharmaceutical products.

This two-pager focuses on USAID’s Learning Question 5, “What are effective and sustainable mechanisms or processes that enable the participation of private sector, civil society, and public organizations in developing locally-led solutions to improve high-performing health care, especially for poor and vulnerable populations? What enables the effective participation or leadership of marginalized populations themselves in the development and implementation of these solutions? Under what conditions is this participation different?”

The purpose of this report is to document the capacity strengthening process to promote the inclusion of the migrant population into the health system after almost one year of implementation. This process has already produced several products and results that can be replicated in other organizations and entities. The products and learnings here can be applied both for the inclusion of the migrant population into the health system and to strengthen the health system for the general population.

This document contains the strategy proposal for the design and implementation of health observatories with a perspective on international human mobility, with countries interested in forming a network of observatories that contribute to generating knowledge about migratory flows and their relationship with health, as well as influencing the construction of regional public policies on migration and health among countries.

This Spanish proposal will generate knowledge about migratory flows and their relationship with health and influence the development of regional public policies on migration and health.

This is the English version of the proposal that will generate knowledge about migratory flows and their relationship with health and influence the development of regional public policies on migration and health.

The report includes an analysis of the planning, implementation, and impact process of projects developed with international cooperation resources focused on providing health services to the migrant population from Venezuela, particularly sexual and reproductive health services, HIV/AIDS, maternal and perinatal care, and mental health.
