Fair Health

Fair Health is a blog that explores health inequalities and barriers throughout the world. Health inequality can take many forms, whether that be unequal access to healthcare, unequal health literacy across a population, or more. Fair Health is dedicated to researching these invisible (and perhaps not well known) divides in our world, that impact people across the world, as well as people in our own communities. This blog is also committed to raising awareness and advocating for the people who have inaccessibility to proper wellness and health care; as editor, I hope to educate not only myself regarding these topics, but also the readers and viewers who might not be aware of the struggles that occur both close and far away from them. This blog will not be able to address each and every health inequality, but it will try: by making a post once a week, and by receiving and considering feedback from viewers (who can reach out and pose a particular health inequality that they want to be researched).

I, the editor of Fair Health, am an International Baccalaureate student who is taking higher level Biology and Global Politics. In addition to researching the public health case studies, I will be analyzing them through a lens of either Global Politics, Biology, or both. These two classes as well as my IB student experience have heavily informed the way I look and understand information, and I want this to be reflected in each post.

“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhuman.” -Martin Luther King Jr.
