Health disparities among marginalized communities result from a complex interplay of social, economic, and environmental factors such as poverty, discrimination, limited access to healthcare, and inadequate living conditions. Structural inequalities in education, employment, and housing contribute to disparities in health outcomes and access to healthcare services. Additionally, factors such as food insecurity, environmental pollution, and lack of preventive care exacerbate health disparities. Addressing health disparities requires a comprehensive approach that addresses underlying social determinants of health, promotes health equity, and ensures universal access to quality healthcare for all populations.
