Description
We should make great efforts to achieve equal treatment in the healthcare sector despite the color, gender, and socio-economy of a person. With the ongoing high cases, the COVID-19 pandemic has further revealed the racial inequality that has been in existence in the health care system for such a long time, the history of health inequality, and the statistical data relating to the population and particular groups affected. I will tell my experience at the start as a healthcare worker with some of the feedback I have gotten from people from these affected communities, and I will provide the reasons that brought up racial disparities. Towards the end of the presentation, I will provide some recommendations and solutions to how we can manage and handle such inequalities in healthcare to provide better healthcare solutions to everyone.
