Contributors to this volume considers whether health inequalities are a result of global distributive inequalities and are therefore of concern to those promoting global redistributive justice.

Case studies include

  • The migration of health care practitioners from developing to developed nations
  • The impact of climate change
  • The social determinants of health outcomes
  • The effects of pharmaceutical legislation – and international bad practices more generally – on securing access to life-saving drugs in the developing world
  • The differential effect of these practices on men and women, especially with respect to HIV/AIDS

These cases are explored alongside theoretical questions of definition, responsibility and moral relevance to discover the scope of responsibilities that developed nations have towards poor health in developing nations.
