How can individual health care practitioners such as paramedics, nurses and midwives, and various professional organisations, work to improve the overall health of people in poor countries and poor people in rich countries?
Health workers are stated to be all people engaged
in actions whose primary intent is to enhance
health.Those in the health sector regularly bear witness to, and must deal with, the effects of the social determinants of health on people.
Evidence presented in the Marmot Review 2010 (2),
and many other evidence-based analyses of health
inequalities (3-6) show a clear social gradient in

economic factors: the conditions of daily life. Most of
the factors influencing health lie outside the immediate reach and traditional remit of the health system– early-years experiences, education, working life, income and living and environmental conditions.
