At ECRI, we believe access to effective healthcare is a fundamental human right. This Pride Month, we want to highlight the immeasurable impact the LGBTQ+ community has made in advancing healthcare globally. Through decades of advocacy, community education, and unwavering determination, leaders, and allies of the LGBTQ+ community have advanced health equity, reduced stigma, galvanized healthcare awareness campaigns, and designed policies and legislation to drastically improve patient safety.
Though incredible strides have been made toward health equity, the LGBTQ+ community still encounters a disproportionate amount of healthcare inequity, including restrictive access to care, legislative barriers, cultural stigma, and a lack of practitioner understanding about the issues faced by LGBTQ+ individuals.
We remain unwavering in our belief that ECRI’s vision of a world where safe, high-quality healthcare is accessible to everyone is achievable. Globally, we are committed to prioritizing health equity by using innovative solutions to identify and repair systemic and cultural barriers within healthcare systems.
