Abstract
The evolution of the problems of medicine in the ghetto is based on three and a half centuries of exploitation of society's major minority group. The problems are further compounded by the apparent benefit of society in continuing this exploitation, a relative lack of awareness and understanding of the ghetto resident and an appalling inadequacy of national priorities directed toward their benefit. These medical problems are inextricably intertwined with sociologic, economical, environmental and political factors that continue to dehumanize and demoralize. Taken together in their present form and magnitude, they represent one of society's major injustices and will continue to exist and increase until they receive the appropriate priorities and commitments based on the sincere and enlightened desires of all segments of society to make life livable for all its members.
