TASK (at least 5 0 0 w o r d s)
As per the above readings, the concepts of ‘efficiency’ and ‘equity’ were explained. These two concepts are essential in health economics, and also in the health care delivery. In prior courses, the concept of ‘equity’ and how it influences and determines health through various social and economic routes has been discussed at length as well.
Using the readings to support the arguments, discuss how the social determinants of health may or may not interact with health economics. Did your readings consider this interaction? Are there gaps? If yes, describe them. If not, describe the linkages as you see them from this week’s readings.
