In a piece for an election year, Michael Marmot, director of the UCL Institute of Health Equity, writes about the importance of hope and taking action to create a fairer, healthier society. He stresses the need for politicians to inspire hope by addressing the growing health inequalities and improving the population’s health. Marmot emphasizes that health inequalities are connected to social determinants such as income, wealth, housing, and education, and that these issues need to be tackled through national policies. He also highlights local efforts in various cities to improve people’s lives and reduce health inequalities. Marmot urges political leaders to take action and create hope for the future.
