The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact globally. Most affected,
however, are those individuals and groups routinely disadvantaged by the social
injustice created by the misdistribution of power, money, and resources. Simple
measures that prevent the spread of COVID-19, such as frequent hand washing and
social distancing, are unavailable to millions of people in the wealthiest of
nations and in the poorest of nations. Disadvantaged groups are impacted more
directly and in disproportionately higher numbers due to existing poor health,
and the disruption of services central to securing an income and an education
will have lasting consequences for their futures. The unintended effect of
exclusionary government policies is that privileged citizens and healthcare
systems are also at greater risk. This paper seeks to highlight the impact of
COVID-19 on those already suffering health inequities through consideration of
some of the social determinants of health on groups in affluent and poorer
nations. It also highlights some of the factors that may assist in tackling
health inequities as we emerge from this pandemic.
