Health disparities in women

Health disparities in women refer to differences in health outcomes and access to medical care that affect women based on factors like race, socioeconomic status, or geographic location. These disparities mean some women experience higher rates of certain illnesses, lower quality of care, or barriers to health resources. Factors such as cultural differences, bias in healthcare, and social inequalities contribute to these gaps. Addressing health disparities involves ensuring all women have equal access to preventive services, quality treatment, and support, promoting better overall health and equity across diverse communities.
