An equity-lens analysis of policies on child health in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

This study revealed significant gaps in addressing equity in child health policies in the DRC. Future policies should systematically incorporate all equity-related CCs, accompanied by clear, measurable actions and robust monitoring frameworks. Strengthening these components is essential to advance equitable access to child health services and ensure that all children, regardless of background or circumstance, can achieve their full health potential.

Abstract

This study revealed significant gaps in addressing equity in child health policies in the DRC. Future policies should systematically incorporate all equity-related CCs, accompanied by clear, measurable actions and robust monitoring frameworks. Strengthening these components is essential to advance equitable access to child health services and ensure that all children, regardless of background or circumstance, can achieve their full health potential.
