Abstract This paper focuses on the methods to reduce social inequalities through appropriate public health management implemented within the EU. In the initiatives taken by the EU, it is important to contribute to the achievement of greater equality in terms of health in all social groups in the member states, and to reduce heterogeneity between countries in combating health inequalities by focusing on their socioeconomic determinants related to health and lifestyles. The research method adopted in this paper was the analysis of documents related to direct actions on health safety and health policy within the European Union.
