healthcare inequities
Healthcare inequities refer to the differences in access to medical services and health outcomes among various groups of people. These disparities can be influenced by factors such as socioeconomic status, race, geography, and education. For example, individuals living in rural areas may have limited access to healthcare facilities compared to those in urban settings.
These inequities can lead to significant differences in health outcomes, such as higher rates of chronic diseases and lower life expectancy in disadvantaged populations. Addressing healthcare inequities is essential for ensuring that all individuals receive fair and adequate medical care, regardless of their background or circumstances.
