Inégalités sociales de santé

Abstract

Social health inequalities are high and either persist or increase. Social expenditures seem more linked to mortality than do health expenditures. This result emphasizes the role of social determinants of health. Developing intersectoriality and acting on policies outside of the health field are major issues. Reducing the social health inequalities gradient would encourage implementation of proportional universalism, promotion of experiments, mobilize available expertise and co-construct local and national interventions.
