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 'Equality Data' project showed that there is a lack of data on racial inequality and discrimination in healthcare in Belgium.

What are the objectives of this research?

  • Address the lack of data on racial inequalities and discrimination in healthcare
  • Support the healthcare sector and policymakers in the implementation of evidence-based policy for combating discrimination and racial inequalities in the healthcare sector. 
  • Propose recommendations for the fight against racial discrimination in healthcare.
