Equity in Health Research

Equity in health research means ensuring that all groups in society have fair access to participate in research and benefit from its findings, regardless of socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or location. It aims to address disparities by prioritizing research that focuses on underserved or vulnerable populations, so that advancements in health are shared broadly and help reduce health inequalities. Essentially, it’s about creating an inclusive approach that promotes justice in health outcomes and ensures that no one is left behind due to systemic disadvantages.
