COVID-19: a message from BMJ >>
Access to healthcare may mean coverage and service availability, but it can also mean literal access—would transportation be a problem? What about disability services? Can the patient take the time off work, or get childcare? Accessibility is an issue of social justice. Racial and fiscal minorities, immigrants and refugees, LGBTQ and gender-nonconforming individuals are most likely to face discrimination. Access is often a privilege when it should be a right. Watch the video for a preview of this year's Medical Humanities Focus.
