Inhaltsangabe

Achieving equitable healthcare is one of the most critical challenges facing global society today, as systemic disparities continue to limit quality care for marginalized and underserved populations. Health outcomes are profoundly shaped by intersecting factors such as socioeconomic status, geographic location, race, gender, and policy environments. Addressing these disparities requires not only medical interventions but also structural reforms and interdisciplinary collaboration. Emerging technologies, universal healthcare models, and inclusive policy frameworks offer promising pathways for reducing inequality and improving health outcomes worldwide. Ensuring equity in healthcare ultimately strengthens societal resilience, promotes human dignity, and advances global well-being. Advancing Equity in Global Healthcare Systems explores the systemic barriers that perpetuate health disparities, particularly in marginalized and underserved communities, and presents innovative approaches to overcoming these inequalities. Drawing on interdisciplinary research from global health, public policy, sociology, and medical sciences, it highlights real-world case studies, emerging technologies, and policies that have proven effective in advancing equitable healthcare. Covering topics such as artificial intelligence, geriatric nursing, and health literacy, this book is an excellent resource for healthcare providers, public health officials, community health workers, administrators, researchers, academicians, policymakers, technology innovators, educators, and more.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Eriko Matsumoto obtained her Master of Public Health (MPH) from the Department of Health Informatics, School of Public Health, Kyoto University. She places particular emphasis on global health equity and pursues both quantitative and qualitative research, including work on health data, information, and digital contexts, with attention to openness, to contribute to the development of sustainable global healthcare systems. Her research experience includes clinical studies on cancer and rare diseases, evidence-based clinical guideline methodology, and investigations into rare disease networks and patient and public involvement (PPI) particularly within Europe. She has published scholarly books on cancer and clinical research ethics guidelines, contributed to the compilation of an international medical encyclopedia, and undertaken editorial responsibilities with academic journals, including Nature. Building on these experiences, she integrates perspectives from global health and ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI), including AI ethics, to address emerging challenges in global healthcare systems that serve humanity.
