[August 28, 2008] - a child born in suburbs of Glasgow, in Scotland, will further have a life expectancy lower by 28 years than another born hardly thirteen kilometers. L? life expectancy to the birth D? is a girl in Lesotho lower by 42 years than that D? another born at the same moment in Japan. In Sweden, the risk for a woman to die during a pregnancy or at the time D? is a childbirth 1 per 17.400, then qu? in Afghanistan it is 1 per 8.

These figures N? have any biological explanation. Differences between the countries and with L? are interior even of the frontièrs of a country, due to L? social environment in which people are born, live, grow, work and age. Did these “social determinants of health” make L? object D? a three years investigation carried out by eminent political leaders, university, former chiefs D? State and Ministers for health, gathered within the Commission of the social determinants of the health of L? The World Health Organization which presents aujourd? today its conclusions with the Director general of L? WHO, Dr. Margaret Chan.

L? is association of principles, policies and not very judicious economic measurements responsible on the whole of fact qu? a majority of L? humanity does not profit from the level of health which is biologically possible. As underline it the Members of the Commission in their report/ratio entitled Combler the ditch in a generation: to found L? equity in health while acting on the social determinants of health, “L? social injustice keep silent on a large scale. ”

For Dr. Chan who thanked the Commission by congratulating it on his report/ratio, “the inequalities as regards health are really a question of life or death. However don't the systems of health tend naturally towards L? equity. One needs an effort without precedent to bring all the actors, even those working apart from the sector of health, to examine the effects of their policies on health. The primary care of health which integrates a component health in all the policies of L? State offer a better framework to reach that point. ”

For does the President of the Commission, Sir Michael Kid, “the Commission primarily recommend to create the conditions necessary to give to people average D? to be free and of S? to open out. Do these means often make defect and L? the most obvious example relates to the fate of the women in many parts of the world. And health suffers from it. While following these recommendations, it would be possible D? to make a considerable improvement to health and L? life expectancy of billion D? human beings. ”

Inequalities with L? interior of the countries

medical inequalities? inequitable, unjust and avoidable causes of problems of health? were for a long time measured between the countries, but the Commission puts L? accent on the “medical variations” existing with L? interior of the national borders. As follows:

L? life expectancy at the Australian men autochtones is lower by 17 years than that of the other men in Australia.

Maternal mortality is 3 to 4 times stronger at the poor than in the rich person in Indonesia.

The mortality of L? adult is 2,5 times more important in the districts most stripped that in the most favoured districts in the United Kingdom.

The mortality of L? child in the shantytowns of Nairobi east 2,5 times more important than in the other parts of the city. Is the risk of death 10 percent at a new-born baby having an illiterate Bolivian mother then qu? it N? is what of 0,4 percent at a new-born baby whose mother at least attended L? secondary school.

In would the United States, 886.202 deaths have been prevented between 1991 and 2000 if the death rate had been the same one among Americans D? African origin that at the White, then qu? as comparison only 176.633 lives could be saved thanks to progress of medicine during the same period.

In Uganda, the death rate of L? is child of less than five years 106 per 1000 in the fifth of the richest families, but 192 per 1000 alive births that of the poorest families, which means that close D? a fifth of the children born alive in the quintile poorest N? will not reach their fifth birthday. As comparison the average death rate of less than five years in the countries with high income is 7 per 1000.

Did the Commission find elements showing qu? in general are the poor less better parcelled out than those which are stripped than them, but qu? in their turn those are less better parcelled out than those which have an average income, and so on. This bond between the income and health is the social gradient that L? one notes everywhere not only in the developing countries, but in all the countries, even richest. The variation is more or less pronounced according to countries', but the phenomenon is universal.
