Article Synopsis
- The text differentiates between "inequity" and "inequality" in health, suggesting that "inequality" refers to epidemiological data while "equity" relates to access and distribution of health services.
- It focuses on the specific context of Mexico, highlighting significant socioeconomic polarization and a privatizing health reform that has exacerbated inequity in healthcare access.
- The author argues that these factors create barriers to achieving health equity and reducing overall inequity in the country.
