My opinion about social determinants of health is:

the people are born in rich or poor, slum or urban area, high or low income.where ever they were should learn to lead a healthy lifestyle . Government need to provide health resources , recommendations by WHO to prevent various health problems.for that we can reduce mortality and morbidity rates in the particular Country or places.
