Social medicine explicitly investigates social determinants of health and disease, rather than treating such determinants as mere background to biomedical phenomena. The proposition of social medicine deserves emphasis, and especially so today – its intellectual breadth, its political and economic depth, its essential humanism. Contemporary social medicine is critical to understand and prevent diseases, improving healthy life conditions in the general population and the efficiency of health systems.

Social medicine explicitly investigates social determinants of health and disease, rather than treating such determinants as mere background to biomedical phenomena.

Contemporary social medicine is critical to understand and prevent diseases, improving healthy life conditions in the general population and the efficiency of health systems.File in questo prodotto:
