Benefits of diversity and inclusion in patient education
Addressing racial disparities in fertility care is essential, particularly for Black women who face unique challenges such as higher infertility rates and lower access to treatment. Education for both patients and providers is crucial in closing the equity gap, involving comprehensive information on fertility issues, treatment options, and cultural competence training for healthcare providers. A collective effort from the medical community and society is necessary to create equitable care, improve patient-provider relationships, and ensure all individuals have access to high-quality fertility services.
