Scholars were asked "What does health equity mean to you?"
Health Equity means ensuring that all people reach their highest peak of health. Health equity looks into many factors that could hinder a person's individual health such as the social determinants and access to basic needs such as water, hygiene, and sanitation to what environment they are growing up at their home, schools, and work area.
