dc.description.abstractThis study assesses how subnational health managers in Ethiopia understand health equity issues and their role in promoting health equity. It offers insight into how these roles can be harnessed to advance health equity. Findings show that subnational managers perceive geographical factors as a predominant concern in health service delivery inequities, especially as they intersect with poor infrastructure, patriarchal gender norms, unequal support from non-governmental organizations or challenging topography. Health managers’ efforts in promoting health equity are affected by inadequate resource availability, which restricts their ability to enact long-term and sustainable solutions.en
