Our Work: By issue Health About this issue Health is a fundamental aspect of social justice. Where health care is commoditized and access is dependent on the ability to pay, it imposes barriers for the poorest. Inter Pares promotes a holistic approach that addresses the relationship between health, poverty, equality and social conditions. We work with counterparts to advocate for integrated, accessible, publicly funded healthcare systems. Our Work on this issue We work with organizations that believe healthcare is a collective responsibility, not a market-based commodity. Our allies conduct research, educating and mobilizing the public. Overseas, we help fund health services where they are difficult to access due to conflict or government negligence. As a feminist and pro-choice organization, our approach to women's health emphasizes women's equality.
