Research done by Bryant Cameron and colleagues describe that if a center of health disparities is created it would lead to initiating all possible solutions. They state that “the creation of the national center for minority health and health disparities and mandated health disparities and reportings” allows for related complications to be reported in an organized manner that allows for the discourse to move from identifying health disparities to actually eliminating them (Webb, 2011). Also, as described by NCBI that French physician recommended improving school and working conditions as part of the social interventions to reduce difference mortalities (Gibbons, …show more content…

This solution will introduce new educational methods to understand the proper ways of managing diseases and reduce the spread of them. Another benefit is that it will improve the education level of the affected persons which will, in turn, improve their productivity and directly alter the whole population’s economic levels, improve health access to all people, and eventually eliminate health
