Health equity is more than a noble ideal; it is a practical aim that ensures every person has a fair chance to be healthy, regardless of where they live, how much they earn, or which group they belong to, and it requires ongoing collaboration among communities, health care providers, researchers, and policymakers to turn data into action, guided by equity-centered research, transparent measurement, and authentic community voices.To realize this goal, societies must remove barriers to access to care by lowering out-of-pocket costs, expanding clinic hours and mobile services, simplifying appointment systems, ensuring language-accessible information, and training staff in culturally competent ways so people can seek preventive services and timely treatment without unnecessary delays.
