 We turn now to a discussion of the normative dimension of health inequalities. We begin in this section with a look at health inequalities among residents of the same state. We first examine the concept of health equity which is often employed as a normative standard in the public health literature for evaluating such inequalities. We then turn to the philosophical literature, providing an overview of the most prominent accounts of the justice of health inequalities. In the two remaining sections of this entry, we first discuss the relevance of individual responsibility for health justice before concluding with a discussion of the justice of global health inequalities.
