Abstract
Le point essentiel de cet article est l'étude de l'effet que les
dimensions socio-économiques du développement peuvent avoir sur la
santé. Il est prouvé que l'état de santé des couches sociales basses dans
un pays comme le Nigéria reflète leur position de désavantagés sur deux
plans socio-économiques. Le premier comprend l'ordre économique
international alors que le second est purement interne, c'est-à-dire qu'il
prend racine dans la société elle-même. Quand on consulte les données
statistiques habituelles concernant la santé, on s'apperçoit que ces
groupes sont doublement victimes. Il est maintenant reconnu que
l'amélioration de leurs conditions de vie réside plus dans des change
ments de structure sociale que dans une amélioration pure et simple des
services médicaux.
