- Title
Why Should We Care about Social Justice?
- Authors
GOSTIN, LAWRENCE O.
- Abstract
The author comments on the reminder given by Uscher-Pines and colleagues regarding the measures of social justice that are missing from influenza plans worldwide. The measures missing from the plans are the identification of traditionally disadvantaged groups, civic engagement with these communities, and policies to address their special needs. Social justice demands more than just the fair distribution of benefits and burdens in extreme health emergencies. Therefore, social justice needs action to preserve human dignity.
