Delivering quality health services to ethnically diverse populations
- Reducing ethnic discrimination in health
Description
Delivering quality health services to ethnically diverse populations involves adapting healthcare systems to address cultural, linguistic, and social barriers. Essential actions include training providers in cultural competence, employing interpreters, and developing inclusive health policies. These measures ensure equitable access, improve patient-provider communication, and reduce disparities in health outcomes. The strategy’s practical intent is to remedy exclusion, misdiagnosis, and inadequate care by making services responsive to the specific needs of diverse communities.
