Our Lives, Our Meds, Our Health - Health Literacy

Everyone has a right to good health, but in the six counties of Ireland people from poorer backgrounds suffer ill health and die younger, compared to those who are better off. Health inequalities is a term used to refer to the unfair nature of these health differences. Helen McNamee, lead author of CDHN’s research ‘Our Lives, Our Meds, Our Health’ Exploring Medication Safety Through a Social Lens (2023) will discuss same.

‘OUR LIVES, OUR MEDS, OUR HEALTH’ INNIÚLACHT SLÁINTE COLÁISTE OLLSCOILE NAOMH MUIRE, BÓTHAR NA BHFÁL

Tá ceart ag gach duine ar shláinte mhaith, ach sna 6 chontae, bíonn sláinte níos measa ar dhaoine ó chúlraí níos boichte agus faigheann siad bás níos óige, i gcomparáid leo siúd atá níos fearr as. Úsáidtear an téarma neamhionannais sláinte chun tagairt a dhéanamh do nádúr éagothrom na ndifríochtaí sláinte seo. Pléifidh Helen McNamee, príomhúdar thaighde an CDHN ‘Our Lives, Our Meds, Our Health’ Exploring Medication Safety Through a Social Lens (2023)’ an cheist seo.
