"Last week in London there was a symposium on the publication of the document, "Review of Social Determinants and the Health Divide in the WHO European Region: Final Report." WHO/Europe commissioned the review to support Health 2020, the European policy framework for health and well-being.
"The 3-year review compiled evidence on the 53 countries in the WHO European Region, and describes social-policy actions that governments can take in 12 priority areas, from early-childhood education to employment and the provision of social protection according to need....
"The review calls for the highest priority to be given to ensure a good start in life for every child. Specific action should provide conditions for good quality parenting and family-building, and ensure universal early years education and care. I will be writing on this subject, especially in the context of the seminal Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study, in subsequent blogs."
