Overview
Health, determinants of health, health care, and health professionals in all countries are influenced by power of trade corporations. Singular interest of private corporate profits and businesses can affect health, such as the availability of tobacco, alcohol and others. Public health legislation and practice should consider the interests of the public and the importance of all health determinants.
Keywords:
health – health determinants – public health – trade corporations
