Health and its Issues in the Twenty-first Century

The current crisis of humankind manifests itself principally through the fact that a great part of its members suffer from, among other things, poverty, injustice, discrimination, inequality, lack of technologies and difficulties in accessing health services. Health is a fundamental factor of human development, and an health-centred analysis is thus essential, and can provide us with elements of principles that could help us face this crisis more globally. A group of health professionals offer condireations on some of these principles, such as:
 the definition of health, which could result in the elaboration of a framework that could allow us to implement actions and concrete proposals within this domain.
 the predominant health model or system, which has clearly shown its insufficiency and which needs to be reformed.
 The financial support which would help in reducing inequalities in the field of health.
