Social Vulnerability and Access to Health Services Ethical Dimension
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The problem of social vulnerability emerges with greater presence in everyday life given the depth of the threats that increasingly slow down the conditions of stability of human life. The most recent and complete expression of this issue is the devastating short, medium and long-term effects of COVID-19, which made visible the gaps in the coverage of health systems globally. This work reveals the relationship between social vulnerability, understood as the specific level of exposure and fragility suffered by people in the face of a threat of various natures, with access to health services based on the ethical content of said relationship. The issue is topical because analysts and decision makers have not found effective solutions to inequalities, while actions are sterile in the face of the deep and widespread vulnerabilities that extend to the broadest sectors of the world's population.
