Healthcare inequity is a social phenomenon that has been subject of multiple studies and debates. Obstetric patients are not spared from its effects. The general belief is that obstetric analgesia in particular is substandard, usually because of healthcare inequities. This article intends to discuss the issue based on the authors' analysis of the literature and the current clinical practice, in addition to making proposals to cope with inequity and reduce the considerable social gap in this area.
