Health and Social Justice introduces the health capability paradigm, a unique approach, which considers the capability for health to be a moral imperative. Â There are no guarantees for good health, but society can, if it will, design and build effective institutions and social systems that support all citizens in the pursuit of central health capabilities – avoiding premature death and escapable morbidity.
The health capability paradigm embodies comprehensive strategies for this vision to become a reality and employs theories and methods from disciplines including philosophy, economics, law, political science, health policy and public health. Â It argues for a norms-based approach to health promotion, a joint scientific and deliberative approach to efficiently guide allocation decisions, and offers shared health governance to create systems enabling all to be healthy.
