Politics as an Explanation to the Health Divide in Different Settings: A Comparative Study of England and Ghana
2020
Overview
Informed by the theoretical perspective of the political economy of health and in the context of the recommendations of World Health Organization’s Commission on Social Determinants of Health, this article examines the political explanations of geographical health inequities in 2 extremely different settings: Ghana and England. Based on the “north-south health divide” in the 2 countries, the article finds that, while the drivers of health inequities in both countries are policy driven, historically situated contextual factors (colonialism in the case of Ghana and deindustrialization in the case of England) offer explanations for health inequities in both countries. We conclude by discussing the importance of paying attention to structural factors such as colonialism for understanding contemporary health inequities in formerly colonized countries such as Ghana.
