The pursuit of healthy societies has long been a global aspiration, yet the pathways to achieving them remain fraught with challenges. The paper “How to Build Healthy Societies: A Thematic Analysis of Relevant Conceptual Frameworks” provides an insightful thematic analysis, identifying key policy levers and enablers necessary for transformative change. This commentary critically examines the paper’s approach, highlighting the need for a more profound engagement with political and economic structures. Additionally, the commentary highlights the role of civic engagement and evidence-based policy-making in overcoming systemic inertia. Ultimately, achieving healthy societies requires a paradigm shift—one that moves beyond technical solutions towards an equity-driven and justiceoriented framework.
