Health Equity is the attainment of the highest possible health status for all people. Health equity occurs when society actively removes barriers that disproportionately affect the health status of particular individuals and groups within a society. By using this as a cornerstone of scientific research, the field of health equity can continue to move forward promoting improved quality of life for all.
