Social determinants of health

Health is about more than having access to doctors, drugs and hospitals. 
Our health is shaped by a complex set of interconnected and dynamic social factors: the circumstances in which people live, grow, work, and age. 
Research tells us that by addressing these social conditions, we can improve people's health and well-being and reduce health inequities.
