We recognize that these foundational elements are not mere buzzwords, they are the pillars upon which our collective impact rests. In this Discussion Paper, we unravel the significance of inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility, and social justice in shaping a more compassionate, equitable, and effective healthcare ecosystem.
