abstract: 'Background: Research consistently shows that gaps in health and health
care persist, and are even widening. While the strength of a country''s
primary health care system and its primary care attributes significantly
improves populations'' health and reduces inequity (differences in health
and health care that are unfair and unjust), many areas, such as
inequity reduction through the provision of health promotion and
preventive services, are not explicitly addressed by general practice.
Substantiating the role of primary care in reducing inequity as well as
establishing educational training programs geared towards health
inequity reduction and improvement of the health and health care of
underserved populations are needed.
Methods: This paper summarizes the work performed at the World WONCA
(World Organization of National Colleges and Academies of Family
Medicine) 2013 Meetings'' Health Equity Workshop which aimed to explore
how a better understanding of health inequities could enable primary
care providers (PCPs)/general practitioners (GPs) to adopt strategies
that could improve health outcomes through the delivery of primary
health care. It explored the development of a health equity curriculum
and opened a discussion on the future and potential impact of health
equity training among GPs.
Results: A survey completed by workshop participants on the current and
expected levels of primary care participation in various inequity
reduction activities showed that promoting access (availability and
coverage) to primary care services was the most important priority.
Assessment of the gaps between current and preferred priorities showed
that to bridge expectations and actual performance, the following should
be the focus of governments and health care systems: forming
cross-national collaborations; incorporating health equity and cultural
competency training in medical education; and, engaging in initiation of
advocacy programs that involve major stakeholders in equity promotion
policy making as well as promoting research on health equity.
Conclusions: This workshop formed the basis for the establishment of
WONCA''s Health Equity Special Interest Group, set up in early 2014,
aiming to bring the essential experience, skills and perspective of
interested GPs around the world to address differences in health that
are unfair, unjust, unnecessary but avoidable.'
