"Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane". These words belong to the famous fighter against racial discrimination, Martin Luther King Jr. He was killed exactly 52 years ago, in 1968, on the 4th of April.
And now, after almost a half of a century, this injustice is again in the spotlight, taking terrifying shape. Coronavirus pandemic already took tens of thousands lives, threatens to paralyze economy and reveals helplessness of most countries in their fight with the infection spread. The pandemic also became an evidence of social inequality being of the main reason of human suffering. But to resolve this social problem is more difficult than to cope with the most sever epidemic.
