Abstract
Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (United Nations in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; United Nation, 2014 [9]) establishes that all of us are entitled to medical care. This is easier said than done, especially when combined with the dominant justice and equity theme of the declaration. We may disagree if equity of medical care is realistic; however, most of us agree that it is a worthy goal. In this paper, I will present a new platform that facilitates cooperation in the sharing of medical knowledge that can address health equity challenges.
