    If the need to lessen down health inequities is to be addressed, then not only worldwide coverage of health but also social determinants of health should be considered in a systematic as well as integrated manner. World Conference on Social Determinants of Health had been conducted in October 2011 at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to make corrective actions in some areas (World Conference on Social Determinants of Health, 2011). These areas include enhancement of governance for health as well as development, increased contribution in making and executing policies, reorientation of the health departments towards the progress of health and to lessen down the inequities in this sector, reinforcement of worldwide collaboration and governance and monitored advancement and enhanced accountability (Brown & Nepal, 2010).…
