ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Health equity

Health equity means everyone has the same chance to be healthy, regardless of who they are or where they come from. Think of it like a race: all the runners have the same track, the same starting line, and the same finish line, so everyone has the same chance of winning. Health equity means that even though some people may have more resources than others (like starting the race further ahead, or having more money for special shoes), everyone has the same chance to be healthy and live a good life.
