Health Disparities

Health disparities refer to differences in health outcomes and access to healthcare between different groups of people. These differences can arise from various factors, including socioeconomic status, race, geographic location, and education. For example, some communities may experience higher rates of diseases or have less access to doctors and healthcare services. These disparities highlight inequalities in health and well-being, often rooted in systemic issues that can limit opportunities for certain populations. Addressing health disparities is essential for promoting equity and improving the overall health of society.
