Covid-19
box The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in terrible loss of life, disproportionately impacting the poor and those with underlying health conditions, devastating lives and livelihoods as a consequence of its effect on economic activity.

Analysis of the evolution and determinants of income-related inequalities in the Brazilian health system, 1998 - 2008

Measuring evolution of income-related inequalities in health and health care utilization in selected Latin American and Caribbean countries
The methodology used for analysis of equity in all six country research studies attempts not to determine causality but to describe and explain income-related inequalities in health status and health care utilization over time. While this methodology is robust, it is not free of errors. When possible, errors have been identified and corrected
