Abstract

Dablie Kiuchy*

Advocacy efforts aimed at influencing policy change at the local, national, and international levels are necessary to address systemic barriers to access to gastroenterological care. Policymakers should be urged to prioritize healthcare equity and allocate resources to support initiatives aimed at reducing disparities in access to care. By amplifying the voices of patients, healthcare professionals, and advocates, we can advocate for policies that promote equitable access to gastroenterological services for all individuals. Investment in research and innovation is essential to advance the field of gastroenterology and develop novel approaches to improve access to care. Research initiatives focused on health disparities, healthcare delivery models, and patient-centered outcomes can inform evidence-based practices and policy interventions. Collaboration between researchers, healthcare providers, and policymakers is crucial to identify and address the root causes of barriers to access and drive meaningful change.
