The thirteen case studies contained in this publication were commissioned
by the research node of the Knowledge Network on Priority Public Health
Conditions (PPHC–KN), a WHO-based interdepartmental working group
associated with the WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health. 
 

The publication is a joint product of the Department of Ethics, Equity, Trade
and Human Rights (ETH), Special Programme for Research and Training in
Tropical Diseases (TDR), Special Programme of Research, Development
and Research Training in Human Reproduction (HRP), and Alliance for Health
Policy and Systems Research (AHPSR). 
 

The case studies describe a wealth of experiences with implementing public
health programmes that intend to address social determinants and to have a
great impact on health equity. They also document the real-life challenges in
implementing such programmes, including the challenges in scaling up,
managing policy changes, managing intersectoral processes, adjusting
design and ensuring sustainability.
