Affirmative healthcare
Affirmative healthcare is an approach that actively promotes equitable access and treatment for marginalized or underserved populations. It recognizes existing disparities in health outcomes and takes intentional steps—such as targeted outreach, cultural competence, and policy adjustments—to address systemic inequities. The goal is to ensure all individuals, regardless of background or circumstances, receive fair and effective healthcare. By actively supporting vulnerable groups, affirmative healthcare aims to create a more just and inclusive system that improves overall health outcomes.
