Medicine is meant to be universal — but reality tells another story.

Problem #3: Global Health Inequalities

Why it matters:

  • In low-resource settings, life-saving drugs and technology are unavailable or unaffordable.

  • Patients in rural or conflict zones face dangerous delays in diagnosis and treatment.

  • Even within wealthy countries, racial and socioeconomic disparities impact outcomes.
