Abstract
A refusal to consider the experiences of Black, Afro-Indigenous and Indigenous Peoples in healthcare settings has predated the global COVID-19 pandemic. The history and development of medicine are founded on anti-Black racism and, as a result, systemic anti-Black racism is a feature of healthcare settings and the delivery of services. Globally, anti-Blackness is a barrier to meaningful and substantively effective health equity and, yet, contemporary practices of equity and inclusion do not effectively address anti-Black racism. Focusing on the needs of Black and Indigenous Peoples would create equitable healthcare that would serve everyone's needs.
