Health disparity

Health disparity refers to the differences in health outcomes and access to healthcare services among different population groups. These differences can be influenced by factors such as socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, geography, and education. For example, some communities may experience higher rates of disease or have less access to medical care compared to others. Addressing health disparities is important for creating a fairer healthcare system where everyone has the opportunity to achieve their best health, regardless of their background or circumstances.
