Health Inequalities

Health inequalities are the preventable, unfair and unjust differences in health status between groups, populations or individuals that arise from the unequal distribution of social, environmental, and economic conditions within societies.

The health inequalities programme is designed to help healthcare professionals to understand the importance of health inequalities in clinical practice and learn how to apply quality improvement methodology to tackle health inequalities in their field.
