Members of the underserved rare illness population may have more obstacles to care and inclusion throughout and after their diagnostic journey. Diverse populations are more likely to have delays and higher rates of hospitalisation for diseases that may be avoided because of structural, linguistic, and socioeconomic difficulties. Organizations and individuals with varied rare illness patients might be better equipped to address the underlying causes of prejudice and disenfranchisement by knowing the health equity concerns that underrepresented communities face. Black non-Hispanics and Hispanics had a higher adjusted risk of avoidable hospitalizations. Due to preexisting bias and lack of access, there are barriers to treatment for many underprivileged areas and individuals, prohibiting fair access to drugs or treatments. Underlying health concerns and common comorbidities, such as a higher incidence of renal failure in Black and Hispanic populations, can make the diagnosis process difficult for many underserved rare illness groups. Minority groups are far more likely to have common comorbid conditions such high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease, which all raise the risk of complications and poorer health outcomes. The health status of patients with underserved rare diseases is significantly impacted by these issues when they are coupled with disparities in access to healthcare.
