Document Summary

Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity . However, this is problematic: if a country"s definition of health is culturally different from ours (think of global health organizations) Health disparities do exist worldwide (they are not just poor black kids ) Within rich nations, gap between rich and poor can be great. Rich are getting richer, poor are getting poorer. There are nations within nations: need to address health in canada, too (not just in poor nations ) 18. 5% of canadian children live beneath the poverty line. Canada ranks 9th on un human development but aboriginal communities rank 78th. In almost every nation, women"s health and men"s health are approached differently. Example: use of prenatal techniques to sex-select overwhelmingly disfavours females. Example: research is disproportionately on males (no azt studies on females for a long time)
