SamenvattingDespite major advances in knowledge and unprecedented gains in global wealth, health inequities between the rich and poor are increasing, both within and among countries. Poverty, poor living and working conditions and the inability to influence these conditions are directly related to poor health. The 2008 report of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Commission on Social Determinants of Health observes that ‘social injustice is killing people on a grand scale’. The WHO report is one of three recent publications that highlight the urgent need to improve universal access to health care by means of a new approach to health. This approach, which is gaining momentum among specialists worldwide, involves addressing health issues in a comprehensive way – with a focus on systems instead of sectors – and tackling head-on the socio-economic causes of poor health and health inequity.
