    Thank you for your insights. Equity is an essential element for building high-quality primary care but has not gained enough attention before COVID-19. System-level collaborations and support are needed to cultivate an equitable environment, as your paper has primarily focused on. The equity of quality of care should also be tailored to health equity because care delivered to people should not vary because of race, color, or social or economic status.

    Competing Interests: None declared.
