Some groups may not have the same access to healthcare, so it's crucial to address these gaps. The report also explains ways to improve fairness in healthcare by understanding different community needs and providing resources where they're most needed. By focusing on equity, we can help protect all people during emergencies and ensure better outcomes for everyone involved.
