abstract: 'On 20 March 2015, Professor Johan Mackenbach of the Erasmus University
|
||||
|
||||
Medical Centre was awarded a doctorate honoris causa by the Catholic
|
||||
|
||||
University (Universite Catholique) of Louvain, Belgium, for his
|
||||
|
||||
outstanding contribution to the analysis of health inequalities in
|
||||
|
||||
Europe and to the development of policies intended to address them. In
|
||||
|
||||
this context, a debate took place between Professor Mackenbach,
|
||||
|
||||
Professor Maniquet, a well-being economist, and a representative of the
|
||||
|
||||
Federal Health Ministry (Mr. Brieuc Vandamme). They were asked to debate
|
||||
|
||||
on three topics. (1) socio-economic inequalities in health are not
|
||||
|
||||
smaller in countries with universal welfare policies; (2) Policies needs
|
||||
|
||||
to target either absolute inequalities or relative inequalities; (3) The
|
||||
|
||||
focus of policies should either address the social determinants of
|
||||
|
||||
health or concentrate on access to health care. The results of the
|
||||
|
||||
debate by the three speakers highlighted the fact that welfare systems
|
||||
|
||||
have not been able to tackle diseases of affluence. Targets for health
|
||||
|
||||
policies should be set according to opportunity cost: health care is
|
||||
|
||||
increasingly costly and a focus on health inequalities above all other
|
||||
|
||||
inequalities runs the risk of taking a dogmatic approach to well-being.
|
||||
|
||||
Health is only one dimension of well-being and policies to address
|
||||
|
||||
inequality need to balance preferences between several dimensions of
|
||||
|
||||
well-being. Finally, policymakers may not have that much choice when it
|
||||
|
||||
comes to reducing inequality: all effective policies should be
|
||||
|
||||
implemented. For example, Belgium and other European countries should
|
||||
|
||||
not leave aside health protection policies that are evidence-based, in
|
||||
|
||||
particular taxes on tobacco and alcohol. In his final contribution,
|
||||
|
||||
Professor Mackenbach reminded the audience that politics is medicine on
|
||||
|
||||
a larger scale and stated that policymakers should make more use of
|
||||
|
||||
research into public health.'
