HEALTH - SOUTHERN AFRICAN REGIONAL CONFERENCE
2000-09-13 to 2000-09-15
Alpha Conference Centre, Midrand, South Africa
The Southern African network on Equity in Health - EQUINET - is a net-
work of institutions in Southern Africa who aim to develop and widen the
conceptual understanding of equity in health; gather and analyse
information and carry out research to support scientific debates and
policy decisions on equity in health in Southern Africa; engage stake-
holders in the health sector from regional to community level and in-
fluence policies and agendas on health at national and regional level in
Southern Africa, including at Southern African Development Community
(SADC) level.
In September 2000 EQUINET will be holding a Regional Conference on
Equity in Health outside Johannesburg, South Africa. The conference will
gather people from research institutions, health policy makers and
planners, health system managers, consumer groups and health profes-
sional groups under the theme Building Alliances for Equity in Health.
The major theme areas for the conference will be:
* The status of equity in health in Southern Africa
* Macroeconomic policy and health
* Monitoring equity in health and triggers for planning
* Equity in resource allocation for health
* Equity in health service issues (human resources, private public sub-
sidies, core services etc)
* Governance and participation in health systems
* AIDS and equity
* Building alliances for Equity in Health
The conference will include a mix of presentations on work and findings on
equity in health in southern Africa, and interactive discussion on issues,
policy and implementation proposals and research areas and methods
arising. The working language of the conference will be Eng- lish.
The conference aims also to outline future areas of work on equity in
health in southern Africa and propose institutional mechanisms for tak-
ing forward this work in Southern African, including through EQUINET. It
also aims, through links with policy makers, media and internet to build
an increased policy and public profile for equity in health in Southern
Africa.
