Abstract: : Health disparities among children are a persistent global issue, with marginalized and underserved populations experiencing unequal access to healthcare and poorer health outcomes. Pediatric nurses, as key healthcare providers, have a critical role in addressing these disparities. Their responsibilities encompass direct care, health education, policy advocacy, and research aimed at promoting equitable health outcomes. This review examines the root causes of health disparities, the unique role of pediatric nurses in addressing these inequities, and actionable strategies for enhancing healthcare equity among children.
