This perpetuates cycles of poverty and prevents access to basic medical care for millions of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Position<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As doctors, we believe healthcare is a fundamental human right. Debt burdens in the poorest nations directly undermine health systems, prevent disease prevention, and deny people life-saving treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We advocate for debt cancellation to enable countries to invest in their healthcare systems, improve public health outcomes, and build resilient health infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Support the campaign<\/strong> &#8211; Learn more about Oxfam&#8217;s Cancel the Debt initiative<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contact your MP<\/strong> &#8211; Advocate for policies that support debt relief for the poorest countries<\/li>\n<li><strong>Share the campaign<\/strong> &#8211; Raise awareness about the link between debt and health inequality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Global health equity requires global solidarity.
