Health Equity in Children

Health equity in children means ensuring all kids have the same opportunity to be healthy, regardless of their background, income, or where they live. It involves removing barriers like poverty, lack of access to healthcare, or unsafe environments, so every child can grow up healthy, develop fully, and reach their potential. Achieving health equity requires efforts to address social, economic, and environmental factors that influence children’s well-being, ensuring fairness and justice in health opportunities for all children.
