What does Hadia think about current health issues?

"I think one of the most pressing public health issues right now is making sure everyone has fair access to healthcare. A lot of people still struggle to get basic services because of factors like their income, geography, race, and gender. If we don’t work on fixing these gaps, many will keep facing these barriers, making health inequalities worse and slowing down overall public health progress. I believe health journalism can help address these issues by spreading accurate, evidence-based information online. As the saying goes, 'prevention is better than cure.' By focusing on prevention and closing these gaps, we can make sure everyone, no matter their background, has access to the information and care they need."
