Discrimination and racism in healthcare: Challenges and perspectives

Lecture

Experiences of discrimination have been proven to impact physical and mental health and make it harder for many people to access adequate healthcare.
This lecture presents current findings on discrimination and racism as social determinants of health. The focus is on their effects on health equity and how discrimination-sensitive structures in healthcare, research, and public health can be strengthened. Additionally, approaches that can promote greater participation, diversity, and justice in the healthcare system will be discussed.
