Why LGBTQI+ inclusion is needed in health care
Creating inclusive health care spaces is vital for the well-being of LGBTQI+ communities impacted by access barriers like discrimination, unequipped providers, and criminalization.

These barriers often discourage people from seeking care when they need it, resulting in significant health disparities affecting both physical and mental well-being. That’s why Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) strives to create inclusive health settings where LGBTQI+ people and other vulnerable groups can access the care they need without fear of discrimination.
