Document Summary
Life expectancy increases on average at a given level of inflation-adjusted per capita income and there are two major lines of explanation: Access to health care, including not only treatments but preventive interventions like immunization. Social determinants of health: conditions under which people live and work that affect their opportunities to lead healthy lives. Health improvements do not follow rapidly from economic growth, it is dependent on building infrastructure as provision of water and sanitation services. Globalization can also be defined by a series of differing definition but one serves as a pattern of transnational economic integration animated by the ideal of creating self-regulating global markets for goods, services, capital, technology and skills . The validity of the notion that growth leads to wealth that leads to health is entirely untrue as poverty reductions does not necessarily result in affordable health care of the populous.
