A spatial dimension of health inequality and the cohesion policy
Languages of publication
Abstracts
The spatial perspective of health inequality gained in importance as a result of the European cohesion policy, a significant dimension of which is equalization of spatial living conditions, and among them an equal access to the health services. The cohesion policy reflects a new approach to the health policy, in which impact on factors determining health is taken into account, and not only on creating a better health care system for people who already have health problems. In this context, the article is aimed at presenting new directions of both health and spatial European policy and more general strategies of Europe development. It shows new methodological approach in presentation of territorial division and indicators used. It also presents the results of research on health inequalities between regions in the European countries. The article is an expression of a concern for insufficient perceiving in Poland a phenomenon of health inequalities in the spatial dimension, whereas there are possibilities and means to diminish them within the European strategy, European cohesion policy and European funds.
