Abstract:
This article presents a general view of the evolution of the conceptual approach to equity in health and its current meaning. The analysis of equity from the standpoint of distribution-accesibility, use and outcome of health services is proposed. Every point of view is addressed to an operational and policy-making position. This paper concludes with a proposal of perspectives for research development in this field.
