Abstract

The economic and social determinants of health (ESDH) have significant impacts on global health outcomes. These determinants encompass a broad range of factors including income inequality, access to education, employment status, and healthcare services, which shape individual and population health across regions. Understanding the relationship between these determinants and health disparities is crucial for the development of policies aimed at reducing global health inequalities. This paper takes a comparative approach to analyze the effects of economic and social factors on health in different regions, specifically focusing on Pakistan and other nations. By analyzing both developed and developing countries, we aim to identify common patterns and suggest strategies to mitigate health inequities globally.
