"Health Equity" (concept)

Health equity refers to the fair and just opportunity for all individuals to achieve their highest level of health. It means recognizing that certain groups—due to factors like socioeconomic status, race, gender, or geography—may face barriers that prevent them from accessing quality healthcare or resources. Achieving health equity involves addressing these disparities, ensuring that everyone has access to necessary services, support, and conditions that allow them to be healthy, regardless of their background. It’s about ensuring that everyone has a fair chance not only to be healthy, but to thrive.
