Global health inequities are sadly a reality: there is a 14-year difference in life expectancy at birth between high- and low-income countries, while even within countries marginalized and vulnerable populations on average experience far worse health outcomes. To address global health inequities, the World Economic Forum’s Global Health Equity Network and is partners are launching the Zero Health Gaps Pledge: the world’s first global, multi-sector health equity pledge. The Zero Health Gaps Pledge outlines the need for, and commitment to, a multi-disciplinary approach and concerted action across sectors and organizations globally to advance health equity. 00:00 Introduction 02:00 Discussion begins The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.
