INTRODUCTION
Health inequality is defined as the difference or variations in distribution of health care
resources or health status among various population groups (Patel and et.al., 2020). Health
inequalities are highly undesirable and unfair as they can affect the quality of life and social gaps
but they can be reduced or managed by appropriate government policies and health promotional
campaigns. Health inequalities grow in society as individual’s age, work, live and grow. Health
inequalities can be observed in terms of health status, access to care services, service quality and
experience, behavioural risk other health determinants. This report will discuss the concept of ill

health and principles which leads to wider health inequalities. It will also provide an evaluation
of public health practices and challenges faced in health promotional aspects.
