We can think of inequality as the difference between the things some groups of people have compared to other people. It’s a bit like looking at how big a slice of cake one person has compared to another.
There is inequality between countries in the world. For example, some countries are wealthy while others are extremely poor. There is also inequality within countries. For example, some people in the country may have a lot more money than others.
But inequality is not just about money. There can also be inequality in the kinds of opportunities people have in life.
This exploration delves into health and inequality issues, focusing on maternal health in Ghana. It discusses maternal health goals, a comparison between Ghana and the UK, and profiles of mothers from both the southern and northern regions of Ghana. The content emphasizes the importance of free healthcare in saving lives, yet highlights the concerning statistic of 60 women in Ghana still dying during childbirth each week.
