There is an urgent need to set a target that enables all people, regardless of financial status, to access quality healthcare and prohibit any forms of impartiality. Different characters create different experiences, yet sometimes the effect of demographics on the people who are suffering from health disparities needs to be considered closely so that the hidden factors that are beginning in the background of their socioeconomic class, gender or race can be exposed and helps to determine patients that are likely to be at high risk for health problems. This notion is supported by the fact that we are going to look at the lives of African American women in urban areas.
[...] Hence, either racism or sexism is experienced by Black women. Black women in urban areas have a tag since they are exposed to multiple sources of discrimination, as Crenshaw, a legal scholar focusing on critical laws (Cole, 2020). The application of traffic in this situation is effective as it portrays the situation in such a way that traffic is viewed only in one direction, based on the social identity of any individual, one of the main reasons that black women in America are unserved in the healthcare industry and other areas of their lives is because laws and rules are presupposed as if traffic is always loaded in a single direction.

[...] Health factors determine the birth outcome, and that is why this could be the most serious health problem for African American women. While being pregnant is already a terrifying experience for many Black women, their being more likely to have illnesses because of America's history of inadequate healthcare only contributes to their fears. If the mother has any underlying health problems, then the process may be more difficult. Levels of prevention Firstly, we have primary prevention, then we move to secondary prevention, and the last one is tertiary prevention (Villela et al., 2011). [...]
[...] Although medical and technical testing is important to light the way for treatment, a chronic disease like yours will not have the same effect on everyone suffering from it, whether they have the same symptoms or not. Tertiary prevention efforts consider illness after the treatment and symptom control. What is more, the aspect needs to grow as well as pertain to Black women. Most often, they aren't given proper care, and as a result, they die from conditions one could avoid. The American healthcare system The misconduct of police officers is associated with the fact that all of these cases discussed the issue of ongoing systematic and institutionalized racism. [...]
[...] There are now personnel in healthcare who do not mind the welfare of minorities, particularly black women. At the same time, it is very unlikely that persuading those people who do not think about the welfare of minorities and, thus, black women to obtain a higher quality of care for African Americans will transform the current system that develops racial prejudice. Aside from obvious prejudice of their race, people's social status-among other factors such as money, overall wealth, education level, and even their neighbourhood-also somehow determines the kind of health care they receive and how accessible it is to their financial status.
