Gender Equity in Health Care

Gender equity in health care means ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their gender, have fair access to quality health services and are treated fairly within the health system. It recognizes that men, women, and gender-diverse people may face different health needs and barriers, and aims to address these differences so everyone can achieve optimal health outcomes. This approach promotes fairness by removing disparities caused by gender-related biases, cultural norms, or systemic inequalities, ensuring that health care is inclusive, respectful, and effective for all genders.
