Equity in Healthcare

Equity in healthcare means ensuring that everyone has fair access to health services, regardless of their background, income, or location. It recognizes that different individuals and communities have varying healthcare needs and challenges. Achieving equity involves addressing barriers like income disparities, discrimination, and geographical limitations so that everyone can receive the care they require. The goal is to promote fairness, improve health outcomes for all, and reduce inequalities in health and healthcare. Essentially, it’s about making sure no one is left behind in accessing quality health services.
