Health disparities in children

Health disparities in children refer to differences in health outcomes and access to healthcare that are linked to factors like race, income, location, or social status. These disparities mean some children face higher rates of illness, injury, or developmental issues because they lack resources, adequate healthcare, or live in less healthy environments. Addressing these disparities involves ensuring all children receive equitable healthcare, quality education, and safe living conditions so they can achieve optimal health and well-being regardless of their background.
