Systemic Racism in Healthcare
Medical professionals exploited, took advantage of, and profited off of Henrietta’s cells, creating a multi-million dollar industry, while she and her family were uninformed of the procedures on Henrietta and the use of her cells. Systemic racism refers to the institutional and structural barriers within a society, perpetuating discriminatory and unjust practices and outcomes for individuals based on their racial identity. It is characterized by the systemic policies, procedures, and structures inherent in society, resulting in unequal access to opportunities, resources, and privileges, such as education, employment, housing, and healthcare. Although the medical field strives to provide equal care to all individuals, systemic racism continues to persist due to issues with informed consent, equitable access to medical care, and historically ingrained stereotypes. Addressing these issues will allow society to circumvent racial barriers and improve patient care overall.
