Health Inequalities in Urban Areas

Health inequalities in urban areas refer to the significant differences in health outcomes among different groups of people living in the same city. These disparities often arise from factors like income, education, and access to healthcare services. For example, individuals in wealthier neighborhoods may experience better health due to more resources and services, while those in poorer areas may face challenges like limited access to nutritious food, safe recreational spaces, and preventative healthcare. Addressing these inequalities requires targeted efforts to improve living conditions, increase access to healthcare, and promote health education in underserved communities.
