Health: Equality vs Equity

What is your experience using the facility of health in your country?

It’s important to understand the difference between health equality and equity because they are both essential in different ways. Health equality is important because it ensures that everyone receives the same level of care, regardless of status or background. However, health equity is also important because it prioritizes social justice in healthcare and makes sure that everyone has access to the care they need. Without both health equality and equity, our healthcare system would not be able to function properly.

Health is the right of every citizen. The state has an obligation to provide facilities for them. In the realm of health care, each country has its own policies. From these policies, there are facilities offered. One of them is to help with justice. In fact, in some cases, justice does not mean equality. Health welfare may be quite expensive in some circles, which can reflect how and to what extent a country’s policies facilitate the accessibility of health facilities. Various facts on the ground reveal the health facilities available.
