, 1. What is health equity and why is it important for global health?
- Health equity is the absence of unfair, avoidable or remediable differences among groups of people,
whether those groups are defined socially, economically, demographically, or geographically or by other
dimensions of inequality (e.g. sex, gender, ethnicity, disability, or sexual orientation).
- Health equity is important for global health because it is a fundamental human right and a key determinant
of health outcomes. Health inequities can lead to increased morbidity, mortality, and reduced quality of life
for affected populations. Health inequities also pose a threat to global health security, social justice, and
economic development.

services, social and environmental determinants of health, infectious and chronic diseases, malnutrition,
maternal and child health issues, violence and conflict, climate change, and weak health systems .
3. What are some of the strategies that the CDC uses to address health disparities and advance health equity
globally?

save lives.
- Strengthening public health capacities and systems to detect, respond to, and prevent public health
emergencies.
