Inequality in health

Health inequality refers to the unequal distribution of health resources, services, and outcomes among different groups of people, often based on factors like socioeconomic status, race, or location. This means some groups experience higher rates of illness, limited access to quality care, and shorter lifespans, while others enjoy better health and longer lives. These disparities are often driven by social, economic, and environmental factors, highlighting the need for policies that promote fairness and equal opportunity for everyone to achieve good health.
