Global Health Equity

Global health equity refers to the fair distribution of health resources and opportunities worldwide, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background or location, has the chance to achieve optimal health. It highlights the disparities caused by factors like poverty, geography, and social status. In the context of global justice, it argues that all individuals have a right to health and healthcare, emphasizing the need for collective responsibility to address inequalities. This approach seeks not just to improve health outcomes, but to create systems that support justice and equal access for all people globally.
