child health equity

Child health equity means ensuring all children have fair and just access to the healthcare, resources, and opportunities they need to grow, develop, and thrive. It recognizes that some children face barriers like poverty, discrimination, or lack of services, which can affect their health outcomes. The goal is to reduce these disparities so every child, regardless of their background or circumstances, has an equal chance at a healthy, fulfilling life. Achieving child health equity involves addressing social factors and providing targeted support to those who need it most.
