The concept of social determinants of health has emerged as a crucial framework for understanding the complex interplay between social; economic; and environmental factors that shape health outcomes. This abstract explores the multifaceted impact of social determinants on individual and population health. It highlights key determinants such as socioeconomic status; neighbourhood and physical environment; social support networks; health behaviors; and access to healthcare. By addressing these determinants; policymakers; healthcare providers; and community stakeholders can work collaboratively to reduce health inequities and promote the well-being of all individuals. Through a comprehensive understanding of the social determinants of health; interventions can be tailored to address the root causes of disparities and foster healthier communities.
