Our guide to health and development
Welcome to Health Poverty Action's guide to health and development. We’ve pulled together information about some of the key issues that face the world in its struggle for health for all.
- The determinants of health
- Poverty and disease
- Tax and health
- International aid, financing and debt
- International trade and health
- Weak health systems
- Maternal and child health
- Health rights and marginalisation
- Millennium Development Goals
All these things are closely intertwined – if we want to make a real difference to global health we can’t address each one in isolation, we need to look at the wider picture.
We hope these pages enable you to do just that. Each section gives you an overview of the key issues and what we think needs to be done to address them. You can then delve deeper into particular topics to find out more, and read about related projects that Health Poverty Action is involved in.
We hope you find these pages useful and inspiring.
