Hanna argues poverty should be treated as a medical condition, not a social issue

In an essay published in The Conversation, Hanna makes the case that medical schools and academic centers should treat poverty with the same urgency as infections or chronic diseases, noting that poverty screening is routinely documented but ignored in clinical practice.
“In medicine, poverty is often screened for, documented and then ignored as a 'social' issue outside the scope of medicine. It becomes a side note in a medical chart. We do not treat it or prevent it with the same urgency as we treat infections, diabetes or hypertension.”
