This paper looks at health inequality and deprivation among developing country, namely: Indonesia, Pakistan and Philippine. The paper analysis is particularly concerned with relationships between health and income, especially the extent to which inequality and deprivation in the former is driven by changes in the latter as there were some program intervention and health system revolution in the three countries.
