Abstract
Justice-fairness in how people are dealt with-is not merely about law but also an aspirational goal, resulting in different points of emphases if the focus is on justice and health or justice in health. Two important human aspirations: justice and health, form the central theme of this editorial, their coalescence resulting in fairness in how people are treated and their ability to achieve the highest attainable standard of physical, mental, and social well-being. Justice is about law but it is also about democracy and the distribution of power, social roles, and capacity.1 (Am J Public Health.
