Abstract
Health equity in pediatrics is a critical component of public health that addresses the disparities in health outcomes among children from diverse backgrounds. Factors such as socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, and geographic location can significantly influence a child’s access to healthcare, quality of care received, and overall health outcomes. This article explores the concept of health equity in pediatrics, the factors contributing to health disparities, strategies for promoting equity in pediatric healthcare, and the role of healthcare providers, communities, and policymakers. By fostering an equitable healthcare environment, we can ensure that all children have the opportunity to thrive and achieve optimal health.
