Health disparities among ethnic minorities are a pressing global concern, impacting the well-being and quality of life of affected populations. This paper explores the challenges faced by ethnic minorities in healthcare access and outcomes, drawing on insights from successful global initiatives that have sought to address these disparities. Through a comprehensive review of literature and case studies, it identifies key strategies and interventions implemented in various countries to enhance equity in healthcare. The paper highlights the importance of cultural sensitivity, policy interventions, and community engagement in improving health outcomes for ethnic minorities. It further emphasizes the need for sustainable financing and ongoing evaluation of these initiatives to ensure long-term impact. The findings suggest that a multifaceted approach, encompassing both systemic changes and targeted interventions, is crucial in reducing health disparities among ethnic minorities worldwide.
