The International Equally Well Scorecard is a global initiative that benchmarks how countries are addressing the physical health inequities experienced by people living with mental health challenges. The project examines national policies, strategies, research, prevention programs, shared care models, screening initiatives, anti-discrimination efforts and system-level reforms designed to improve health outcomes and reduce the life expectancy gap.

By identifying examples of excellence and highlighting opportunities for improvement, the Scorecard supports international collaboration, shared learning and accountability. Its goal is to accelerate action so that people living with mental health conditions can access equitable healthcare and enjoy longer, healthier lives.

The project is in early stages of development as the project expands to include a broader global picture of this health inequity.

A concept Poster Presentation was made for the Global Leadership Exchange in Ottawa, Canada in June 2026. This page will be updated regularly as the project develops and more countries are involved.
