No one should get sick and die just because they are poor, or because they cannot access the health services they need. Health is a human right, not a luxury. On #HumanRights Day, I call on political leaders to support #HealthForAll

@TaylorJanuary3 US cities were included in this article due to the inequities of wealth, employment, and other basic social determinants of health. The inadequacies of these determinants have been instrumental in the decline of healthcare outcomes among the US population #asudnp603

@KimASU888 Capitalism is profit driven & individual focused (good for one) as opposed to other economic systems that are population focused (good for all) contributing to social inequities and injustices #asudnp603

[Fionnuala @FBrownASU]

@sherriarhoDNP A more educated society = improved social determinants of health which can lead to less health disparities & inequities #asudnp603

@Arciniega3Aaron @amlehn3 Education increases knowledge and awareness of inequitable circumstances and provides a means for patients to become advocates of change in their communities #asudnp603

Another contributing factor to the health inequities faced by vulnerable populations. This is grossly unethical and places individuals & communities at risk for further harm #asudnp603 https://t.co/7dyAV6u3wq

WHO (2013) Closing the Health Equity Gap- emphasizes that societal factors heavily influence health outcomes. Policy should be geared towards improving communities & social determinants of health #asudnp603 https://t.co/NPEVCWlrea

As with our healthcare system, prevention programs are not given the attention they deserve. EVIDENCE suggests that these programs work. Shifting mindsets from treatment to prevention is key to success #asudnp603 https://t.co/3DoS3fyXyb

There are many evidence-based prevention programs that could be usefully applied to the opioid crisis https://t.co/44lgWGTO5q

@vcorvinoDNP Many low-income communities lack supermarkets or stores within walking distance that sell nutritional foods & fresh fruits/vegetables. Additionally, some of these communities do not have parks or recreational areas to engage in physical activity #asudnp603

Although a compelling solution to potentially decrease over prescribing of opioids, could the repercussions lead to under treatment and affect patient care? #asudnp603 https://t.co/nxYZ9iTyXA

Healthcare is not a topic of debate in other industrialized countries- it is a right for all. Why, with all the evidence supporting universal coverage, do we still have millions un/underinsured in this nation? #asudnp603

@TashaDNP603 As APNs, we should advocate for flu shots among health workers & pts. We need to do a better job at educating the public about the complications from flu. Many do not understand the high incidence of fatality from the flu, especially among some vulnerable populations #asudnp603

@Germin_Zaki Ensuring that all women have access to affordable & quality healthcare. Some women are far along in their pregnancies before they have their first prenatal appt. due to financial hardships. This should never have to happen #asudnp603

As APNs, how can we help minimize these inequities on an individual and systems level? #asudnp603
