One of the greatest disparities that Asian Americans have been facing in this coutnry has been in the area of health care. API women tend to have the highest rates of breast and cervical cancer. API men don’t seem to fare better in other areas, such as Hepatitis. Some reasons stem from cultural differences, others from lack of access to quality care.
However, some research provides hope for Asian Americans who suffer from heart attacks. Performance is improving in other areas. Let’s hope that everyone is able to enjoy the benefits of quality care, regardless of race.
