AbstractThe concept of 'health equity' has become increasingly central to discussions around social determinants of health, and the resultant disparities in health outcomes. It has particular pertinence to paediatric populations in New Zealand: some of our most alarming disparities relate to child health, and there is increasing recognition of the need to reduce these inequities. Effective 'health equity' approaches in child health demand that clinicians broaden their roles to become strong advocates for social justice: in order to achieve progress in this area, it is essential that child health is prioritised at our most fundamental policy levels.
