Social justice is rooted in notions of societal (social)responsibility and fairness (justice)."Social justice is the equitable,or fair,distribution of society's benefits,responsibilities and their consequences.It focuses on the relative position of social advantage of one individual or social group in relation to others in society as well as on the root causes of inequities and what can be done to eliminate them" (CNA,2010,p.13).A focus of primary health care is disease prevention,not social justice.Social justice applies to all people,not just those in precarious situations,and it is not to be used as a means to enhance control.
