Karola Klatt Fair access to health services and the fight against unhealthy living conditions are the focus of the World Health Organization’s campaign for World Health Day on April 7th. Covid-19 has highlighted how some people live healthier lives and enjoy better access to health services than others. The vaccine supply reflects this injustice: the pandemic is a global problem, which can only be solved globally, but national self-interest dominates the politics. Injustice is not only international, however, but also evident within the health systems of many industrialised countries. Underfinanced and inefficient, many have seen a deficit of care, resulting in long waiting times for necessary treatment. A two-tier set-up has emerged, clearly disadvantaging those with low incomes and little social security. The privatisation of services has reduced the ability of governments to allocate health resources where they are most needed. The discriminatory effects of health systems have even become dangerous drivers of the pandemic.
