The ties between gender inequalities and differences in the health of a population and in health care do raise many interesting points. I never occurred to me that neither the biological or social approach wouldn't solve problems individually. One problem that I think global health is facing is the role that men and women play in the health care industry. If mostly men are doctors, then are women getting the proper (female health) care that need? Additionally, the reason why neither the biological or social attempt don't solve the problems individually is because they are so closely related. Women play an often secondary role in society because of our biological burden of child baring. I linked to this post a video that my aunt showed me. While it does not directly discuss gender inequalities in health care, it talks about the increase of life span in countries as their national income increases. This ties to the idea of how men have more access to resources such as money which in turn gives them greater access to adequate health care.
