We have the solutions to fight health inequity

Evidence Action
/

This Sunday, April 7, is World Health Day, and the 2024 theme is “my health, my right”.

Everyone, no matter where they live, has the right to access effective health care and lifesaving safe water. But far too many children and families are affected by harmful or deadly illnesses that are entirely preventable and treatable – often by simple, low-cost solutions.

Combating these health inequities is what we’re working toward at Evidence Action every day of the year. With the help of our generous supporters, we’re bringing the world’s most effective and low-cost health interventions to those who need them most.

That’s how many newborn lives we estimate that we’ve saved in Liberia over the past two years through Syphilis-Free Start. We estimate we’ve prevented 1,500 adverse birth outcomes by training all health facilities in the country on using a dual HIV/syphilis test for pregnant women and providing syphilis treatment. We’re just getting started – as we strengthen the program in Liberia, we’re expanding into Zambia, Cameroon, and potentially beyond.
