WHO’s Commission on Social Determinants of Health: Inequities are Killing People on a Grand Scale at The Social Medicine Portal

WHO’s Commission on Social Determinants of Health: Inequities are Killing People on a Grand Scale at The Social Medicine Portal:
"On Thursday, August 28th the WHO’s Commission on the Social Determinants of Health issued its final report: Closing the Gap in a Generation: Health Equity through Action on the Social Determinants of Health.
The Commission concluded that the “toxic combination of bad policies, economics, and politics is, in large measure, responsible for the fact that a majority of people in the world do not enjoy the good health that is biologically possible.” The report challenges the world community to achieve global health equity “with a generation” a goal that “is achievable, it is the right thing to do, and now is the right time to do it.” [The report is available on the Commission's website and comes in two versions: an executive summary, and the full 256 report. The website has a variety of other materials including presentations, background papers and pictures.]"/.../
