Research: inequalities and racial discrimination in healthcare

Over the past five years, more than 12% of the cases handled by Unia following reports in the health and personal care sector concerned so-called racial criteria. These criteria form the third most frequent reason for filing a report in this sector, just after disability and state of health.

The results of the first part of the Equality data research demonstrated the existence of racial discrimination and inequalities in healthcare in Belgium. To remedy this, Unia has launched a study on the subject.
