In matters of health we should all be equal : unfortunately some are more equal than others …
In 1978, at Alma Ata, it was clearly claimed that inequities in health are simply not acceptable. Each individual should be able to achieve the highest possible level of health (in its holistic definition). This should be considered as a fundamental human right. However, this latter is largely undermined by the unequal distribution of power, money and resources. The gap separating advantaged from disadvantaged people has clearly been highlighted, and even accentuated, during the recent health care crisis due to COVID-19. This schism is widely present, both at the international level but also within the boundaries of each country, rich or poor. In the interest of society in general, it will be mandatory to address - rapidly - these social determinants of health (the causes of the causes), because the health inequity is not the illustration of a system failure. It is the result of the organization and operationalization of the system itself.
