It is mainly result of unequal distribution social, political or environemnt related resources such as inadequate health care,poverty, education inequalities. Factors such as caste, nationality, skin colour should not play any role but unfortunately people with specific skin colour or national origin are not given treatments. Following quality care should be provided to reduce health disparity

The treatment should be completely scientific and non sceintific methods, orthodox methods should be avoided. Timelienss matters, Giving tretament on time helps in reducing death rate or risk rate. Equality - This is the main point of helath disparities though we are in 21st century, ineqaulities related to race, gender, economic status should be ruled out. Patient should be seen only as patient and not should not be stereotyped.
