Discrimination and Racism in Healthcare: Challenges and Perspectives
Presentation
Experiences of discrimination have been proven to affect physical and mental health and make it harder for many people to access adequate healthcare.
This presentation shares current insights on discrimination and racism as social determinants of health. It focuses on their impact on health equity and how discrimination-sensitive structures in healthcare, research, and public health can be strengthened. Additionally, approaches that promote greater participation, diversity, and justice in the healthcare system will be discussed.
