[homeles_ot-l] Commission on Social Determinants of Health (including housing) - Final Report

[Lynne Browne]

FYI . . . The World Health Organization (WHO) is the directing and
coordinating authority for health within the United Nations system. Poverty,
social exclusion, poor housing and poor health systems are among the main
social causes of ill health.  “Health is defined as a state of complete
physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease
or infirmity”…World Health Organization.

Closing the gap in a generation: Health equity through action on the social

Closing the gap in a generation: Health equity through action on the social
determinants of health
Social justice is a matter of life and death. It affects the way people
live, their consequent chance of illness, and their risk of premature death.
We watch in wonder as life expectancy and good health continue to increase
in parts of the world and in alarm as they fail to improve in others.
