Assignment
PurposeGlobal health disparities are the result of many influencing factors, from limited socioeconomic resources, access to healthcare delivery, and technology to environmental risks and cultural practices. The goals of global health interventions are to reduce disparities that exist and to assure health protection and security for all people in an equitable manner. The purpose of this assignment is to explore disparities that currently exist, factors contributing to those disparities, and their impact on health outcomes. Implications for nursing and action steps to reduce disparity will be investigated.
