About

Health inequalities refer to differences in health outcomes or access to healthcare services between different groups of people, often based on factors such as socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, gender, or geographic location. These disparities can manifest in various ways, including disparities in life expectancy, prevalence of certain diseases, access to preventive care, or quality of healthcare received. Addressing health inequalities requires multi-faceted approach that includes addressing social determinants of health, improving access to healthcare services and promoting health equity policies.
