Abstract

This article introduces the global WHO-managed Health Inequality Monitoring Network, which is dedicated to strengthening and expanding health inequality monitoring practices at global, regional and country levels. Launched in 2025, the Health Inequality Monitoring Network consists of 12 inaugural institutional members, represented by over 140 affiliated individuals spanning all world regions. The Network aims to: strengthen capacities for health inequality monitoring; generate and disseminate evidence on health inequalities; and develop health inequality monitoring tools, resources and best practices. This article details the rationale for establishing the Network, as well as its current activities, anticipated impacts and future development. © World Health Organization 2026.
