Relative Privilege in Healthcare

Anil Soni is the CEO of the World Health Organisation Foundation and in this episode he shares his own journey, from privilege to understanding and curating his relative privilege in order to balance the scales for social justice in the arena of healthcare
He discusses why the only way to achieve equity, fairness dignity and decency is to acknowledge the source of the inequality and to ensure we are all conducting repair in the work we do and the way we conduct our lives
KEY TAKEAWAYS 
There has been progress but there is much more to do to achieve health for all
The systems represent structural discrimination and we are all complicit in them 
We all need to share in the reckoning and recognise the ways in which the systems are operating 
Aid is a system where we move money from wealthy countries to poorer countries but the wealth we are moving is itself stolen as a consequence of hundreds of years of injustice 
development, philanthropy and charity are themselves systems that are the product of injustice 
It’s uncomfortable to realise you are complicit but investing in the internal work is the only way to bring change and each of us needs to try and understand the lived experiences of people whose lives are different to ours 
BEST MOMENTS 
‘Equity is a concept that’s come alive for me’
‘Now I aspire to be more of an agent of restorative justice’
‘Equity has to be about repair and it requires us to acknowledge that the inequality that exists in the world today is a product of systems injustice’
