 Healthcare is a crucial civil right as yet a multitude of the world lacks basic access to simple medical services that includes neurological care—due to inadequate access. Some disorders involve Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and Bell’s palsy. However, many people affected by these neurological diseases continue to be undiagnosed and untreated across regions.

Many low-income countries around the world face a significant shortage of neurosurgeons—leaving patients left untreated and access to medication. A developing country such as the Democratic of Congo only has 16 local neurosurgeons treating 95 million patients and 5.9 million Congolese citizens treated per neurosurgeon. As due to the negligence of healthcare resources and conflicts upon politics causes psychological and physical pressure on their health. The inconsistent care will lead to many patients with untreated tumors and head injuries, resulting in death or permanent health issues. The fathermost disparities emphasize an extensive worldwide healthcare crisis; where medical treatments and care are scaled on the region and finance. It is essential to address the inequality of global health care as it helps achieve international health equity. 

Thus, inequality in global healthcare is crucial and should be addressed worldwide—especially for neurologic medical care. Inadequately supported systems, shortage of neurosurgeons and expensive therapy with substantial cost; enabling countless of citizens to suffer and remain undiagnosed or untreated. It is crucial for developing countries to expand their access to basic basic care, train staff, and invest in healthcare facilities—as this is crucial for everyone to receive equal basic healthcare, globally.
