Abstract: The concept of health is a social construction defined by the historical-cultural contexts of societies. At the moment, this context is characterized by global challenges such as climate change, energy crisis, the north-south divide, and poverty, among others. In view of these challenges, sustainable development has emerged as a proposal to cope with these drawbacks of the Western development model. In this sense, it is plausible to suppose, in accordance with a new global scenario of sustainable development, … Show more

“…The relationship between health and sustainability has been the object of discussion for many years. It has been argued that sustainability is a necessary condition for promoting health and, on the contrary, health must be seen as a precondition for sustainable development [1,2]. In different international policy documents concerning sustainability, the notion of health is mentioned as a part of social sustainability and one of the basic human needs, among them housing, water supply and sanitation [3, p. 55].…”

' There are a number of works devoted to the impact of socio-economic status on population health [6,7,8,9,10,11], whereas only a relatively small number of works are dedicated to sustainability and health issues [1,2,12]. Most of the works concern socio-economic inequalities among different groups of population, and the impact of these inequalities on their state of health.…”

“…Todas las intervenciones que se agencian por parte de los Estados, desde las políticas públicas hasta los proyectos puntuales enmarcados dentro del anhelo de desarrollo afectan estructural e integralmente a las sociedades. Igualmente, se ha hecho más visible la relación entre aspectos estructurales de las sociedades y los niveles de salud, reafirmando cada vez la vinculación entre el desarrollo y la salud (Ríos-Osorio, Salas-Zapata & Ortiz-Lobato, 2012).…”

“…These services should be saved, sufficient quality and provided in the effective way without exposing to financial hardship in paying for the services [21]. By ensuring such widespread coverage, not only will individuals benefit, but also all of society, as the population health can be improved [17]. So, expansions in health system coverage would lead, on average, to better health of the population [22].…”
