Webinar: The Link between Income Inequality and Access to Healthcare

In this webinar:
Many factors influence the ability of individuals to perceive their need for healthcare and to seek appropriate and timely treatment. The focus of this webinar is to describe what we mean by income inequalities and to illustrate how rising levels of income inequality negatively influence the ability of people to achieve good health by impacting access to care.
