Explanation:

Health equity is about fairness in health - it aims to eliminate health disparities caused by social factors like poverty and discrimination, giving everyone a just chance to achieve good health. Measuring economic value is related to cost - benefit analysis, focusing only on medical interventions is too narrow, and providing same services regardless of needs is not equity but equality.
