Health inequality can avoid the difference in the health of the population. You may experience health inequality because of where you were born or lived, people, or work.
Sadly, they are persistent in our community and their causes often come from a variety of complex causes that often need systematic changes beyond our control.
Health inequality leads to people in other regions of the country or other racial groups, experiencing serious differences in life expectancy and experiencing other health results of the same disease.
In addition to personal impacts, health inequality reduces health services and reduces economic productivity.

Social, physical, mental and economic costs for our community

Individuals who live at the most deprived of the country are more than seven times more likely to be hospitalized for tuberculosis hospitals, and are six times higher than measles compared to the most deprived regions.
People living in North West have an emergency hospital hospitalization rate for infectious diseases that are about 30% higher than the national average and 50% higher than the southeastern part.
The effects of environmental risks are also related to deprivation. In areas with high poverty, air pollution often increases, and those who live in this place are likely to face bad weather due to inefficient home insulation and fuel poverty.
