Health Inequalities and Global Justice

Patti Tamara Lenard

Christine Straehle

Yukiko Asada

Gillian Brock

Garrett Wallace Brown

This book explores the moral dilemmas posed by disparities in health across nations. Millions around the world die from preventable diseases. Millions more suffer from poor health as a result of extreme poverty. Who bears responsibility for health inequalities? Who should take responsibility for ameliorating them? Contributors to this volume consider whether health inequalities are a result of global distributive inequalities and are therefore of concern to those promoting global redistributive justice.
