It has emerged that there has been significant differences in health status of different social groups among the global populations.

Healthcare reports indicate that some population groups experience improved lifestyles with proper health status, whereas other social groups experience poor health status, owing to their biological or social status. In a community, whereby significant health status gaps exist, the population is divided into blocks on the basis of health status. Health inequalities can be identified depending on different parameters, especially with regard to health.

As a result, all countries have come to realize that health inequalities are virtually unacceptable.
