Healthcare Inequity Demographics
Health inequities are systematic differences in the opportunities groups have to achieve optimal health,
leading to unfair and avoidable differences in health outcomes.
Our health care system continues to be prove due to conscious
and unconscious biases, resources are not allocated
fairly among races, sexes, or social classes, ethnicity, gender, religion and more. These biases expose people in our society
to unfair treatment in healthcare and results in avoidable suffering or mortality.
