Why is breaking bias and valuing differences so important in 2022?
The pandemic has highlighted not only the increasing complexity of patient care needs but also the growing inequities in health care delivery and distribution. In 2022, if we are to successfully address these challenges, we need to break biases such as gender, race, and affinity. Only in tackling personal and societal prejudices can we leverage the strengths of diverse life experiences, knowledge bases and skills. By valuing differences, we can design innovative solutions to these complex issues and build an equitable health care system.
