Abstract: Taking as a starting point the provocative article recently developed jointly by the Pan American Health Organization and the Health Equity Network of the Americas (HENA) and published in the Pan American Health Journal under the title “Do not remain blind to equity: lessons to be learned from the COVID-19 pandemic in the Americas”1 we call for action by raising the need to have information systems for advancing prosperity and development in Latin America and for monitoring health equity, the resilience of health systems, and the implementation of explicit policies and practices aimed at eliminating health inequities.
