PEAH – Policies for Equitable Access to Health
2023: A Year in Review Through PEAH Contributors’ Takes
Just at the beginning of a new year, I wish to pay homage to the many top thinkers, either stakeholders or academics, who contributed articles all over the 2023. My deepest gratitude goes to each of them. As invaluable food for thought, their insightful reflections meant a lot to PEAH scope and aims, while adding to debate worldwide how to equitably address health priority challenges (including, though not limited to, climate safeguarding, fair access to care, medicines and food, protection of disadvantaged/discriminated people and cultural diversity) from a view encompassing the policies, strategies and practices of all involved actors.
