What are health inequalities?

"Disparities in health status between different groups within a population are found worldwide.  These include disaprities by age, gender, socioeconomic position, ethnicity, ompairment and geographical region.  In Aotearoa, ethnic inequalities between Maori and non-Maori are the most consistent and compelling inequities in health."  (Robson, B & Harris, R. (eds).  Hauora: Maori Standards of Health IV.  A study of the years 2000 - 2005.  Wellington: Te Ropu Rangahau Hauora a Eru Pomare.
