The structures and processes of oppression and discrimination that exist in society will also play out within health systems. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(13)60253-6. ; Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events investigators.

The problem with the phrase women and minorities: intersectionality-an important theoretical framework for public health. This paper has sought to unpack the complex relationship between gender and health equity across three domains: social determinants, health behaviours and health-system responses. For example, among men and women who smoke tobacco, women appear to develop severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at younger ages than men and with lower cumulative cigarette smoke exposure.5 However, biological explanations for differences between men and women have limited powers to explain the worldwide differences in health outcomes throughout human history, including in times of rapid demographic and epidemiological transition.6 These differences are largely due to the social phenomenon of gender.7, Gender refers to the roles, behaviours, activities, attributes and opportunities that any society considers appropriate for boys and girls, and men and women.

They can also monitor other dimensions of inequity relevant in national contexts, such as defined in SDG 10 (reduced inequalities) and SDG target 17.18 (by 2020, enhance capacity-building support to developing countries…to increase significantly the availability of high-quality, timely and reliable data disaggregated by income, gender, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability, geographic location and other characteristics relevant in national contexts).50 To achieve UHC, the health-system response must include comprehensive analyses to document who is being left behind in service access and to find out why.
