Disparities in Healthcare

Disparities in healthcare refer to differences in the quality, access, and outcomes of medical services experienced by various groups, often influenced by factors like race, income, location, and education. These disparities can lead to some populations receiving fewer preventive care, poorer treatment, or facing delays in receiving help, which can result in worse health over time. Addressing these gaps involves understanding and removing barriers so everyone has an equal opportunity to attain their best health, ensuring fairness and justice in medical care.
