This thesis is motivated by the intuition that current extremes of global health inequality and deprivation constitute moral problems of the utmost importance. It aims to advance our understanding of how we should think about and be morally guided in our responses to global health inequality by engaging critically with literature and arguments at the intersection of global health, public health and social justice. Part I addresses the more conceptual question of how we should think about global health inequality. I suggest that we reject international empirical, operational and normative accou

Background: There is strong evidence linking obesity to health issues and long term conditions such as high blood pressure, type II diabetes, heart disease and some cancers (NICE, 2006).

Currently 26% of adults are obese (Health Survey for England, 2014), and the proportion of women that are classified as overweight and obese has risen to 57% (Health Survey for England, 2014).

Landscape development[1] can provide many benefits, including the reduction of stormwater runoff and the creation of habitats for wildlife. It can also provide health benefits.

Over the last ten years there have been dramatic changes in the health insurance environment in the United States, spurred on by broad reforms in the public health insurance sector.

In 2014 the main provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act began to be felt, dramatically changing health insurance markets, particularly for those seeking non-group coverage.
