- Financial inclusion and health: how the financial services industry is responding to health risks Lisa Morgan Craig Farren Churchill Ill health is both a result of and cause of poverty – attaining good health is therefore an intrinsic objective that cannot be ignored in the pursuit of social and economic empowerment.
