To reduce inequities in immunization we first need to know where they are. Monitoring health inequalities is a basis for targeting interventions and resources where they are needed the most.
The Health Inequality Data Repository is the largest global collection of disaggregated data about health and determinants of health – with about 11 million data points across more than 2000 indicators. These data can be explored directly through the Health Equity Assessment Toolkit (HEAT), an interactive software which facilitates the examination of inequalities and the evaluation of relevant interventions to address them.
An informational webinar will introduce the WHO Health Inequality Data Repository and demonstrate its use with HEAT. You will hear from global stakeholders who will discuss the importance of the WHO Health Inequality Data Repository within their respective areas of work and across the SDGs.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of home-based records as a complement to facility-based records, to improve care seeking behaviours, men’s involvement and support in the household, maternal and child home care practices, infant and child feeding, and communication between health workers and women, parents and caregivers.
Despite the wide use of home-based records, implementation challenges persist.
The guide ‘Strengthening implementation of home-based records for maternal, newborn and child health: a guide for country programme managers’ was developed by the WHO, UNICEF and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in response to the implementation needs.
Join WHO, UNICEF and JICA on April 20, 2023 for the official launch of the implementation guide to learn how to use the guide to establish milestones to track progress against eight factors for successful implementation of home-based records and hear about country implementation experiences.
This webinar is hosted by WHO, UNICEF and JICA, with the support of the Network for Improving Quality of Care for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health and the Quality of Care subgroup of the Child Health Task Force.
