Hello and welcome to Health Check from the BBC with me, Claudia Hammond.
Today, there is constantly progress in medicine with new treatments and vaccines coming on stream.
But whether you can get the care you need depends, of course, on where you live, but also on who you are.
In a moment, we'll hear from the author of a new book on how racism is affecting people's health.
