| Abstract: | Background Social and structural inequities shape health and illness; they are an everyday presence within the doctor-patient encounter
yet, there is limited ethical guidance on what individual physicians should do. This paper draws on a study that explored
how doctors and their professional associations ought to respond to the issue of social health inequities. |
