National Minority Health Month, observed every April, aims to raise awareness about the health disparities affecting minority populations and promote the importance of achieving health equity. Minorities can see a variety of problems in the health environment, including lack of inclusion in health studies and medical trials. Treatments and diagnostic tools may not be as effective, and doctors may not be as informed on minority health needs as they should be.
