Byke is a poor area, Jesmond a posh neighbourhood. Your postcode or PIN code as we call it in our country, is now emerging as a critical aspect in influencing our health. And this is irrespective of the country you live in. In cities, it’s much more important as ghettos or poorer parts of any city bear the maximum burden of ill-health. – Reproduced
