Socioeconomic determinants potentially underlying differential global SARS-CoV-2 testing capacity: an ecological study
Socioeconomic and gender inequalities play a significant role in determining SARS-CoV-2 TC. These inequalities underscore the necessity of ensuring equitable access to health services and targeted public health interventions, particularly in resource-limited settings, to improve health outcomes and pandemic preparedness. Socioeconomic and gender disparities can exacerbate health inequalities and hinder the effectiveness of public health policies in a globally interconnected world.
