Health inequity is a pressing issue that requires a comprehensive and innovative approach. In Equal Care, Seth A. Berkowitz, MD, MPH, offers a visionary perspective on the future of health equity by examining the social mechanisms that perpetuate injustice and its impact on health outcomes. Berkowitz proposes practical policies aimed at creating a system of social relations that ensures equal care for all individuals.
The book synthesizes three essential elements for achieving health equity: normative justification, mechanistic knowledge, and technical proficiency. Drawing from a diverse range of fields such as medicine, social epidemiology, sociology, economics, political science, philosophy, and more, Berkowitz demonstrates that health inequity is a social failure that demands political solutions.
Equal Care is a crucial resource for anyone interested in advancing health equity and addressing the root causes of health disparities. By challenging the current approach to addressing injustice and promoting equal care for all, Berkowitz's book offers a roadmap for creating a more just and equitable society.
