INTRODUCTION
Health inequality is a common unjust practice observed in a society among individuals of
different economic and social status. This article defines the the issue of unavoidable health
inequalities with Gibbs's Reflective Model and the dimension of the issue across the different
groups of people across the global population, within different geographies, variations in social
classes, systemic difference in health between different ethnicities, etc. Through Gibbs
perception, first let me describe the background of issue and make a understanding regarding the
issue. Improper distribution of preventive health resources is a reason of health inequity among
people who used to live in geographically unprivileged area. It is important to implement some
policies to make them avail for all the resources by raising proper funds around the globe by
respective governmental bodies or private healthcare organisations. Healthy population is the
significant factor for developing era for betterment of social and economic status (Bambra and et.
al., 2021). Social factors like education, access to good hospitals and professional healthcare
workers, availability of proper machines, status of employment, level of income, education, etc.
are some of the ample evidence show health disparity among people. It is unfair to have health
inequality. It is important to draw focus on unprivileged people or disadvantaged group by
making proper policies and providing them equal medical facilities at considerable service
charges according to their economic status. In this essay, I will try to explain my personal
feelings, that is, reaction related to the injustice of health inequality then evaluation of good
practice and bad practice, analysis the situation, conclusion of all learnings and then planning of
action that I feel important for the betterment of issue.
MAIN BODY
Injustice and inequality practices in such a important concern that is, health, always
makes me worried and force to think deeply about the reasons of poor health outcomes.
According to the role of ethics everyone should have equal access to health and medical services,
irrespective of their caste, creed, colour, religion, culture or society (DuBois., 2021). Difference
in income outcomes is also a major factor in promoting health inequality. It feels really heart-
breaking to see people with good economic status to get quick access on health problems, high-
income group people able to get quick appointments from doctors, able to get costly treatments
