Abstract
The concept of "health for all" envisages the attainment of a level of health that permits all people of Nigeria to lead a
socially and economically productive life and this goal has been guiding health strategics all over the world for the past
two decades. However, in the present day heterogeneous world, where wide disparities in health and social conditions
exist between and within countries and regions, achievements in health are disturbingly dissimilar in the era of
technology. This paper therefore reflects prevailing health inequalities across the globe and attempts to address some of
these global health determinants and related global injustices. The paper would also present a health promotion
perspective that would advance the ideal of "health for all".
