A team from the International Center for Equity in Health (ICEH) coordinated a workshop on how to measure health inequalities in Brasília, Brazil. The workshop occurred from the 20th to the 22nd of November and was attended by the Brazilian Ministry of Health and the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) staffs.

During the course, the ICEH team covered the basics about health inequalities and introduced the software and calculations used by the ICEH in order to study health inequalities. At the end of the workshop the participants had to produce an equity profile regarding selected outcomes using VIGITEL surveys.

The ICEH team was composed by Fernando Wehrmeister, Cauane Blumenberg, Andrea Wendt and Janaína Costa. The workshop was part of the project ‘Monitoring Brazilian inequalities‘.
