médicosocial

Médicosocial, also known as medical sociology, is an interdisciplinary field that examines the interplay between health, illness, and social structures. It explores how societal factors—including economic status, cultural norms, and political systems—affect health outcomes and access to healthcare. The field investigates topics such as health disparities, the organization of healthcare systems, and the social dimensions of medical practices. Médicosocial research aims to inform policy, improve healthcare delivery, and address inequities in health by analyzing the social determinants of health. This approach bridges clinical medicine and social science, emphasizing that health is not solely biological but deeply embedded in social contexts.
