It will be myopic to view health as a rendition of service or a basket of behaviours only. The word health encompasses much more; more importantly, it is influenced by several other factors that may not relate to medical science but have an inevitable influence on health outcomes. These are known as the Social Determinants of Health (SDH), a host of non-medical factors with a make-or-break effect on the health of a person, a community, or a country. The term social determinants of health refer to the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems, including development agendas, economic policies and systems, social policies and norms, and political systems, shaping the conditions of their daily lives. The social determinants of health are important indicators of the unfair and avoidable differences in health status within and between countries. In all countries at all levels of income, health and illness follow the same social gradient: the lower the socioeconomic position, the worse the health and access to care. The World Health organisation (WHO), finds that incidence and mortality rates of Covid-19 in deprived areas are double the rates of the least deprived areas. Even otherwise, people in countries with Human Development (HD) have 19 years higher life expectancy than people in low HD countries. Besides, low educated subgroups report "poor health" 100 per cent more often than tertiary educated.
