In the new definition of the World Health Organization, health not only means that human beings are free from various diseases, but also includes emotional, psychological and social well-being. Accordingly, the social factors that determine health pay attention to the social conditions in which human beings live and work during their life cycle, and inequality in these conditions leads to health inequalities. It is true that medical care can prolong the life or cure of a serious illness, but what is important for the health of the population is the socio-economic conditions that make people sick or in need of medical care. This means that Social Determinants of Health, such as income, level of education, occupation, nutrition, social class, are much more likely to cause disease than factors such as biological factors, and play an important role in human health if ignored. Make it impossible to achieve health goals and establish justice in health.
