The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), serving as the regional office for the World Health Organization (WHO) for the Americas, is intensifying its commitment to health equity through robust intersectoral collaboration. This dedication is set to be powerfully highlighted during Welfare Week 2025, a crucial initiative designed to underscore the basic truth: health is a shared responsibility.
Strengthening Collaboration for a Healthier Americas
PAHO is actively fostering partnerships across various sectors, recognizing that health outcomes are deeply influenced by factors beyond the customary healthcare system. A key component of this effort is the intersectoral work network and social participation for health equity in the Americas - known as Red Tipsessa – which currently unites over 50 institutions spanning more then 13 countries. This network facilitates the exchange of knowledge and best practices, driving collective action towards improved health outcomes.
To empower health ministries and local governments, PAHO offers a series of virtual courses focused on implementing inclusive and participatory public policies.These courses equip leaders with the tools and knowledge necessary to address the social determinants of health and create environments that support well-being for all.
The Power of Local Action: The MCCS Platform
Local governments are at the forefront of this movement, and PAHO recognizes their vital role. The Platform of Healthy Municipalities, Cities and Communities (MCCS) serves as a powerful connector, linking more than 3,800 cities across the Americas. Through this platform, municipalities can share experiences, access resources, and collaborate on initiatives to create healthier communities.
Monitoring Progress and Ensuring Sustainability
PAHO is also developing an analytical framework and indicators to enable countries to effectively monitor and evaluate their intersectoral initiatives. This data-driven approach will ensure that efforts are not only impactful but also enduring, allowing for continuous improvement and adaptation.
