In Ipatinga, Brazil, a quiet but meaningful shift is underway: ten public health clinics are staying open until nine at night this week, timed to Brazil's National Immunization Week. The gesture is small in scale but large in implication — an acknowledgment that access, not merely availability, determines whether people protect their health. By meeting residents in the hours they actually have free, the city is acting on a truth that public health has long understood: convenience is not a luxury, it is a condition of care.
