inequalities in health

Health inequalities refer to differences in health outcomes and access to healthcare between different groups, often influenced by factors like socioeconomic status, education, ethnicity, and location. These disparities mean some people experience worse health, higher disease rates, or lower life expectancy due to social and economic disadvantages. Addressing health inequalities involves understanding these social determinants and working towards fair access to resources, healthcare, and opportunities to improve overall well-being for all members of society.
