Abstract

Disparities in the allocation of healthcare resources are ubiquitous to most health systems in the world. Universal health coverage will remain a slogan as long as healthcare resources are not distributed equitably across all population groups. Decision-makers and healthcare practitioners have to be aware of the existing inequity and should encourage the use of evidence-based methods when allocating health resources.
