This article brings forth the idea of “structural violence.” This develops the argument that in areas in poverty people to not have access to the treatments or medication they may need and in denying people treatment/ medications disease will continue to spread and worsen. The article argues that providing healthcare to those who can’t afford it not only increases their life expectancy but decreases transmission rates and can potentially lead to the eradication of certain diseases.
