Social Justice in Health Care

Social justice in health care means ensuring that everyone has fair and equal access to quality health services, regardless of their background, income, ethnicity, or social status. It seeks to address disparities so vulnerable and marginalized populations receive the care they need. This approach promotes equity, understanding that social factors influence health outcomes, and aims to reduce unfair differences, ensuring all individuals have a chance to live healthy lives. In essence, it’s about fairness and justice in how health resources and opportunities are distributed across society.
