WHO: World faces growing health inequalities

The world is facing bigger inequalities in health and access to medical care than 30 years ago, World Health Organization representatives announced in two recently launched global reports. The "World Health Report" focused on the way primary healthcare is organized, financed and delivered in rich and poor countries around the world. A second report, "Closing the Gap in a Generation," documents the results of a three-year investigation into health inequalities between and within countries, said WHO representatives.
