Investigating the factors influencing health equity
description: This chapter determines various determinants of global health and wellbeing in relation to the Third Sustainable Development Goal of ensuring "Good Health and Well-being." It investigates the contribution of cultural, environmental, systemic, and socio-economic factors to health outcomes and the expected international cooperation towards closing the gaps in the health of nations. In the chapter, a qualitative methodology has been followed based on secondary data in the form of two peer-reviewed literature pieces. From there, the synthesis has been done to find an overview of global healthcare governance structures, their effectiveness, and major challenges.The study shows that while mechanisms of global health care governance are rated as being moderately effective, wide gaps in funding, transparency, and equitable access to services persist. Respondents also showed the need for increased international collaboration, especially on social determinants of health and strengthening health systems in low-and middle-income countries. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
