    Abstract Cada vez más se reconoce que las mejoras en la salud y el bienestar no se han registrado por igual en las poblaciones de la Región de las Américas. En este artículo se analizan 32 políticas, estrategias y planes nacionales del sector de la salud en diez áreas diferentes de la equidad en la salud para comprender, desde una perspectiva, cómo se está abordando el tema de la equidad en la Región. Se encontraron variaciones significativas en la sustancia y estructura de la manera en que los planes de salud manejan el problema. Casi todos los países incluyen explícitamente la equidad en la salud como un objetivo claro y la mayoría de los países abordan los determinantes sociales de la salud. Los procesos participativos documentados seguidos en la formulación de estos planes abarcan desde inexistentes hasta extensos y bien concebidos. Muchos planes incluyen políticas sólidas centradas en la equidad, como las destinadas a mejorar la accesibilidad física de la atención de salud y aumentar el acceso asequible a los medicamentos, pero ningún país incluye todos los aspectos examinados. Los países consideran a las poblaciones marginadas en sus planes, aunque solo una cuarta parte incluye específicamente a los afrodescendientes y más de la mitad no abordan a los pueblos indígenas, incluso algunos con grandes poblaciones indígenas. Cuatro incluyen atención a los migrantes. A pesar de que incluyen objetivos sobre la equidad en la salud y datos sobre las inequidades como parámetros de referencia, menos de la mitad de los países se fijan objetivos con plazos específicos para reducir las desigualdades absolutas o relativas en el ámbito de la salud. Rara vez se encuentran en los planes mecanismos claros de rendición de cuentas, como la educación, la presentación de informes o mecanismos para hacer respetar los derechos. El compromiso casi unánime entre los países de la Región de las Américas con la equidad en la salud ofrece una oportunidad importante. Aprender de los planes más sólidos centrados en la equidad podría proporcionar ...

    Abstract There is growing recognition that health and well-being improvements have not been shared across populations in the Americas. This article analyzes 32 national health sector policies, strategies, and plans across 10 different areas of health equity to understand, from one perspective, how equity is being addressed in the region. It finds significant variation in the substance and structure of how the health plans handle the issue. Nearly all countries explicitly include health equity as a clear goal, and most address the social determinants of health. Participatory processes documented in the development of these plans range from none to extensive and robust. Substantive equity-focused policies, such as those to improve physical accessibility of health care and increase affordable access to medicines, are included in many plans, though no country includes all aspects examined. Countries identify marginalized populations in their plans, though only a quarter specifically identify Afro-descendants and more than half do not address Indigenous people, including countries with large Indigenous populations. Four include attention to migrants. Despite health equity goals and data on baseline inequities, fewer than half of countries include time-bound targets on reducing absolute or relative health inequalities. Clear accountability mechanisms such as education, reporting, or rights-enforcement mechanisms in plans are rare. The nearly unanimous commitment across countries of the Americas to equity in health provides an important opportunity. Learning from the most robust equity-focused plans could provide a road map for efforts to translate broad goals into time-bound targets and eventually to increasing equity.

    Abstract We propose that a Right to Health Capacity Fund (R2HCF) be created as a central institution of a reimagined global health architecture developed in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such a fund would help ensure the strong health systems required to prevent disease outbreaks from becoming devastating global pandemics, while ensuring genuinely universal health coverage that would encompass even the most marginalized populations. The R2HCF’s mission would be to promote inclusive participation, equality, and accountability for advancing the right to health. The fund would focus its resources on civil society organizations, supporting their advocacy and strengthening mechanisms for accountability and participation. We propose an initial annual target of US$500 million for the fund, adjusted based on needs assessments. Such a financing level would be both achievable and transformative, given the limited right to health funding presently and the demonstrated potential of right to health initiatives to strengthen health systems and meet the health needs of marginalized populations—and enable these populations to be treated with dignity. We call for a civil society-led multi-stakeholder process to further conceptualize, and then launch, an R2HCF, helping create a world where, whether during a health emergency or in ordinary times, no one is left behind.
