health equity in screening

Health equity in screening means ensuring that everyone has fair access to health checks, like screenings for cancer or other conditions, regardless of their background or circumstances. It aims to remove barriers such as cost, transportation, language, or lack of information that might prevent some groups from getting screened. The goal is to provide all individuals with the opportunity to detect health issues early, so they can receive timely treatment and improve health outcomes for everyone equally.
