World Health Organization Knowledge Network Literature Reviews

The WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health has been active on many fronts. One of the most interesting has been its various knowledge networks. The Health Systems Knowledge Network has recently published a series of literature reviews on key issues. These include papers on:

• primary care as a key strategy in enhancing health equity;
• comparative analysis of the forms of health management and stewardship most effective at tackling health inequity;
• planning and market regulation, including analysis of the inequitable impact of commercialization of health care provision;
• and gender analysis and health human resources.
