AbstractWhile the domestic effect of structural racism and other social vulnerabilities on Covid-19 mortality in the United States has received some attention, there has been much less discussion (with some notable exceptions) of how structural global inequalities will further exacerbate Covid-related health disparity across the world. This may be partially due to the delayed availability of accurate and comparable data from overwhelmed systems, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. However, early methods to procure and develop treatments and vaccines by some high-income countries reflect ongoing protectionist and nationalistic attitudes that can systemically exclude access for people in regions with weaker health systems. What's needed is a global coordinated effort, based on the principle of solidarity, to foster equitable health care access.© 2020 The Hastings Center.
