Equity in Surgical Care

Equity in surgical care means ensuring that all individuals, regardless of factors like race, income, gender, or geographic location, have fair access to high-quality surgical services. It aims to reduce disparities so that everyone receives appropriate treatment and outcomes are not influenced by social or economic barriers. Achieving equity involves addressing systemic issues, providing resources to underserved communities, and ensuring that care is personalized and culturally sensitive. The goal is to create a healthcare environment where surgical care is fair, inclusive, and beneficial for all, helping to improve overall health and stability across diverse populations.
