In recent months, some attention given to the issue of health inequalities by asking how we should focus our efforts and provide a perspective on health inequalities.

It’s appreciated when readers respond if they agree, disagree, or offer an alternative perspective, and this is to share some comments on the post of the differences that developed the ideas.
Mosbaek Craig writes that “I recognize that what we should do is to improve the health of the least healthy. And it is true that many public health policies and programs actually increase the differences, because these policies / programs are more effective in a healthier population. But we can do better. we should examine each policy / program and see if it is increasing or decreasing equity in health. if it is down health justice, we must change the policy / program to fight fare against inequality. ”

Similarly, Ed Donovan wrote: “I agree that focus directly on racial differences in health is often useful to identify the obstacles rather solutions with a focus instead on social and environmental determinants of physical health can help to respond directly to the ” What this means to me “questions and indirect address racial / ethnic differences.

In addition to working to solve both obvious and subtle forms of racism in our society, we must also recognize that income and education are powerful drivers of health care regardless of race and ethnicity. A commitment to strengthen policies that improve access to adequate income, employment, education and opportunities for early childhood lifts all boats, and improve overall health and reduce health inequalities .
