Minority Health Equity

Minority health equity means ensuring all racial and ethnic groups have the same access to quality healthcare and health opportunities. It aims to eliminate disparities—differences in health outcomes—that affect minority populations due to social, economic, or environmental factors. Achieving health equity involves addressing systemic barriers, like limited resources or biased treatment, so everyone has an equal chance for good health and well-being. In essence, it promotes fairness in health for all communities, regardless of background.
