This report, "Closing the Gap in a Generation: Health Equity Through Action on the Social Determinants of Health," presents a critical examination of global health disparities. It asserts that social injustice is a fundamental cause of illness and premature death, emphasizing that avoidable health inequities arise from the circumstances in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age. These conditions are shaped by the distribution of power, money, and resources at global, national, and local levels.

The report provides a comprehensive framework for action, advocating for improved daily living conditions, a reduction in the inequitable distribution of resources, and enhanced measurement and understanding of health disparities. It concludes that social factors are the most significant determinants of health outcomes, influencing access to healthcare and lifestyle choices. This work offers a call to action for governments, civil society, and international organizations to collaborate on policies across all sectors to achieve health equity within a generation.
