Equity in Public Health Practice

Equity in public health practice means ensuring all individuals have fair access to health resources and opportunities, regardless of their background or circumstances. It focuses on reducing disparities caused by factors like income, race, geography, or education that can lead to unequal health outcomes. By addressing these barriers, public health aims to create a society where everyone can achieve optimal health and well-being, and no one is disadvantaged because of their social or economic situation. Equity is about fairness and justice in health opportunities for all communities.
