Why 'Inequality in Health'?
Inequalities in health are one of the greatest social challenges of our time. Global health inequities are dramatic both between and within countries. Even in affluent European nations, with free access to many health services, there are surprisingly large differences in health status and life expectancy. Moreover, health inequities are generally increasing. As a result, the UN highlights the fight against inequities and the promotion of health and well-being for all as two key global goals.
