*Issue 11:2 */*Non-Discrimination and Equality*/*/
/*Submissions due: May 15, 2009

Non-discrimination is perhaps the most fundamental principle underlying
all of human rights. Yet, notions of equality and non-discrimination
have yet to be fully developed as they apply to health policy and
programming.  What does equality actually mean in rolling out or scaling
up services, or determining resource allocations in health? What
dimensions of inequality result in inequity?  What are the grounds for
advancing substantive equality as it relates to preconditions for health
and access to care?  How is the concept of non-discrimination related to
but distinct from development concepts of social exclusion? This issue
will critically explore these concepts in theory and practice.  Further
