Explore a thought-provoking 52-minute lecture that examines the critical issue of health inequalities and social justice. Learn why addressing health disparities requires looking beyond healthcare systems to tackle social gradients and the fundamental conditions shaping people's lives from birth through aging. Discover how economic factors, while significant, are just one piece of the complex puzzle of health inequalities, and understand the evidence-based societal changes needed to close persistent health gaps. Delivered by Sir Michael Marmot, Professor of Epidemiology at University College London and Director of the UCL Institute of Health Equity, this presentation draws on his extensive expertise as former President of both the British Medical Association and World Medical Association. The lecture, recorded at Barnard's Inn Hall in London, includes a separate Q&A session and comes with a complete transcript for further study.
