Global health and foreign policy: accelerating the fight against diseases driven by social determinants of health A/RES/80/265 10. Also encourages Member States to promote gender-responsive financing and budgeting approaches in health and social protection, involving measures to reduce the disproportionate share of unpaid care and domestic work and financial burdens faced by women and girls, including those associated with direct health expenditures; 11. Calls upon Member States, in partnership with other relevant stakeholders, including international and regional organizations, non‑governmental organizations, academia, the scientific community and the private sector, to consider scaling up research and knowledge dissemination on the correlations between health, notably its economic and social determinants, and nutrition and food systems to generate evidence and guidance on effective nutrition programmes and policies, and notes with appreciation that the World Health Organization Academy provides additional resources to achieve these goals; 12. Urges Member States to promote food security and food safety, adequate nutrition, including through breastfeeding, and sustainable, resilient and diverse nutrition-sensitive food systems as central elements for healthier populations and as a fundamental tool to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and targets, aiming at a world free from malnutrition in all its forms, where all people throughout their life course and at all times have access to adequate food and enjoy affordable, balanced and healthy and, where possible, diversified diets for an active and healthy life; 13. Calls upon Member States to take measures to significantly reduce maternal, perinatal, neonatal, infant and child mortality and morbidity and increase access to quality healthcare services for newborns, infants and children, as well as all women before, during and after pregnancy and childbirth, including through providing antenatal and postnatal care, sufficient numbers of skilled birth attendants and adequately supplied birthing facilities; 14. Encourages Member States, in partnership with other relevant stakeholders, including international and regional organizations and academia, to establish, strengthen and maintain monitoring systems that provide disaggregated data to assess inequities in health outcomes, both physical and mental, as well as in allocations and use of resources, and to promote research on the relationships between social determinants and equitable health outcomes with a particular focus on the evaluation of the effectiveness of interventions aimed at combating diseases driven by social determinants of health, in particular through addressing social determinants of health, and to share good practices and methodologies to support data-driven policy decisions; 15. Urges Member States to enhance their national health information systems and research capacities to systematically collect and analyse, taking into account national contexts, disaggregated data to effectively monitor health inequities and measure the impact of policies and interventions on diseases driven by social determinants of health, and to promote regional cooperation and technical exchanges to build analytical capacities in developing countries; 16. Encourages Member States to systematically share relevant evidence and trends among different sectors to inform policy and action, and to assess the impacts of policies on health and other societal goals, taking these into account in policymaking to ensure alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals and maximize their impact on persons in vulnerable situations affected by diseases driven by social determinants of health; 26-07986 9/10
