Equity Research Projects
The Sustainable Development Goals and Universal Health Coverage initiatives both emphasize the importance of addressing inequity, so that no one is left behind. Lack of effective approaches to address inequity has resulted in increased levels of avoidable blindness worldwide.
Equity cuts across all our research themes, but we also have specific equity research foci to understand who is affected, quantify the challenge, and seek solutions for reducing inequity in eye health. In addition to ICEH-led projects, our staff contribute to a range of global and regional projects with an equity focus.
Quantifying inequality and understanding inequityÂ
In order to address inequity, we must first quantify the nature and extent of inequality that exists in a particular setting.
Developing Strategies that Promote Equity in Eye Health
Studies that show strategies for enabling groups of people to better access eye care are essential to improving equity.
Strengthening the Collection and Use of Health Information to Promote Equity in Eye Health
Studies that show strategies for enabling groups of people to better access eye care are essential to improving equity.
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion of Eye Health Research, Organisations and Leadership
