Abstract :

 The unequal distribution of power, money and resources also creates health inequities. While the relationship between poverty and health outcomes are clear, the overall level of class inequality (i.e. the relative gap between the rich and poor) also shapes health outcomes and this relationship tends to be less intuitive. For example, we know that people with low incomes often lack health insurance, cannot afford to pay for medical treatments, lack education associated with better health, and so on. However, regardless of the level of a person‘s income, the gap between a person‘s income and the upper tier of society also affects health outcomes in unique ways. A strong correlation between high income inequalities in a society and many negative social factors, including health, more violence, drug problems, child well-being, and mental illness. In India who are socially disadvantaged by income, employment status, education and place of residence also have a higher risk of Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and cancers, HIV Communicable diseases Skin Problems and depression etc. We have taken 100 Sample for study Thus , the present study is based on the primary data collected form women doctors practicing both at government and private hospital in Tumkur district through structured interview schedule. The main objective of the paper is to find doctors opinion about the relationship between class and health.
