It can even be one of the most important achievements of pluralistic and secular societies.

A second objective is to propose the necessary tools so that access to health care is viable in a specific commonwealth in accordance with available resources.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>To find this balance between an existing variable geometry and the actual level of resources of each specific commonwealth, the authors suggest the compatibility between Norman Daniels' \"accountability for reasonableness\" and the integrated view of health of the World Health Organisation through the \"equal opportunity function\".</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The equal opportunity function appears to be an ethically acceptable solution for the existing variable geometry because it allows for different levels of provision and promotes an ethical rationing fully respecting accountability for reasonableness.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The basic right of access to health care of appropriate quality is a fundamental humanitarian principle that should be enjoyed by all citizens of all countries, and the international community should recognise the obligation to promote these ideals by any means available.
