Abstract

Dear Editor,
I write to bring attention to the critical role that
medical education could play in the eradication of
health disparities in Pakistan. Health disparities
affect populations from vulnerable and rural
regions, driven by various factors such as
socioeconomic inequities, lack of access to
healthcare services, inadequate public health
infrastructure, and educational gaps. Educators and
healthcare professionals, as educators of the future
physicians, have a role in empowering them with
knowledge and skills to improve these disparities
and offer healthy services without inequality.
