Equitable Access to Health Care and Infectious Disease Control. Concepts, Measurement and Interventions

---

Summary.
Based on the presentations and discussions, the following specific issues emerged from the symposium.
Access and equity. The issue of access is inextricably linked with ideas of disparities, equity and social values. Disagreement about what individuals and societies value translates into disagreement on approaches to improving access. A prime example is the debate over universalism versus targeting. Both approaches claim to have the same goal in mind—improving access for those in most need—but each is based on a fundamentally different value orientation. Thus debates persist, even when empirical evidence is presented about the benefits of one approach over the other. Conference participants reiterated the need to look at systematic and universal approaches to improving equity in both access and outcomes.
