Covid-19 Crisis revealed Social Inequality.
The novel coronavirus (covid-19) crisis has revealed how unequal societies are, according to united Nations(UN) Secretary General Antonio Guterres in a message on world health day.
On this world Health Day, we highlight the inequalities and injustice of our health systems he said. He explained that within countries , illness and death from covid-19 has been higher among people and communities that contend with poverty, unfavourable living and working conditions, discrimination and social exclusion.
Globally the vast majority of vaccine doses administered have been in a few wealthy countries or those producing vaccines, he said, adding thanks to the COVAX initiative, more nations are now beginning to receive vaccine supplies but most people in low and middle income countries still must watch and wait.
Guterres confirmed that such inequities are immoral and dangerous for the world's health, economies and socities.
