Abstract
While the resources for health care exist within the region, many of these, such as health workers, flow out of Africa, while the remaining resources rarely reach those with greatest health needs. Inequality blocks access to economic opportunities for people who need them most. EQUINET, as a consortium of institutions from the region, is committed to taking action to advance health equity and to advocate and monitor equity and social justice. EQUINET works to build inter-governmental, parliamentary, civil society, health worker and academic forums in east and southern Africa. The report covers detailed conference presentations and plenary sessions.
