The 2-day conference Closing the Gap: Action for Health Equity was held in April in Ottawa, Canada for the purpose of exploring “the best ways to move the health equity conversation into action.”

In this lecture recorded at the conference, Dr. Danielle Martin, a physician and health-care administrator, discusses the social and economic determinants of health, arguing that a guaranteed basic income is Canada’s best policy option to improve health and well-being.
