Abstract
"Health disparities exist within and between populations in all parts of the world, but the largest gaps are seen between high-income countries (HICs) and low- and middle income countries (LMICs) – for example, when comparing indicators such as life expectancy and maternal and infant mortality. There have been concerted efforts made and initiatives undertaken to close the gaps, including the Health for All movement, the growing focus on health as a vital component of development and the setting of specific health targets within the Millennium Development Goals".
