SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AS A DIMENSION OF STATE POLICY: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Abstract

This article explores the role of social determinants of health in the collaborative efforts across various sectors of state social policy, emphasizing their significance in promoting societal health and well-being. Public health policy is underscored as a critical social imperative, with a particular focus on analyzing key international treaties recognizing the right to health as a distinct human rights category. The authors argue that the social determinants approach, which considers health in a broader societal context, is crucial. This approach recognizes the impact of actions extending beyond the health sector on overall well-being.
