Health

Focus on Health

Global health inequity is an unfortunate and harsh reality. Nearly 3.5 billion people, almost half the world’s population, lack access to the health services they need. Around 70% of health outcomes are due to social determinants of health such as access to food, education, proper housing, and livelihood. The difference in life expectancy between high and low income countries is 19 years.
