WHO's Commission on Social Determinants of Health
March 2005
WSMI is pleased to note the launch on 18 March by WHO, of the Commission on Social Determinants of Health. Social determinants are the conditions in which people live and work - the "causes behind the causes" of ill-health. At this fundamental level the role of self-care and the things that anyone can do at an individual level to prevent ill-health, reduce risk and take positive actions, are key. The commissioners will work to recommend the best ways to address social determinants and WSMI looks forward to contributing to the discussion. |
