A professor of health equity is calling for big corporations to meet the costs of the harm they cause to human health, and for governments to hold them to account.
Sharon Friel, a professor of health equity at Australian National University, says just four industry sectors; fossil fuels, tobacco, alcohol and ultra-processed foods, account for at least one third of avoidable deaths globally.
She's the keynote speaker at the Health Coalition Aotearoa's forum next week on best practice action on commercial determinants of health.
She speaks to Mihi about how multi nationals impact human health.
