Abstract
This article takes the form of an appreciative contextual response to the notion of ‘just health’
that is formulated in Jean-Pierre Wils’ article, ‘Is there a future for medical ethics?’ It approaches
the notion of just health in the South African context from a public theological vantage point.
The article addresses the issues of justice, care and the future of ‘medical ethics’ by adopting a
position that seeks to constructively engage empire, economics and apathy in relation to just
health in South Africa.
