This is terrible! Everyone claims hospitals don’t treat people different but they do! Black women have a higher rate of dying from pregnancy due to neglect like this one! We need black only hospitals!

It’s not segregation it’s to provide care that certain hospitals can’t to a certain race

They were created because the alternative was nothing, but during segregation they were never as well supported as their white-only counterparts.

If you make black-only hospitals, suddenly regular hospitals don’t have to prioritize fixing inequalities with black patients. What if there isn’t a large black community in that area? Or there isn’t enough funding to make a hospital? Colleges can draw from all over the country, hospitals can’t.

All this does is make it so hospitals don’t have to prioritize fixing the mistreatment of black patients because “oh they should just go to a black hospital.” While the black hospital might not be able to provide the care they need and won’t be accessible for everyone

The answer is to work to make it so hospitals can properly treat everyone because they need to serve everyone in the local area, not to create some separate racially segregated version.

Baa 🐑 it’s wrong that there is a racial disparity in medical care in the us and we need to do better. Part of that means we need to change educational standards to prevent bias in medicine. While I think it’s true that having black voices in hospital management is important and promoting black run institutions are vital I disagree that creating segregated facilities will help in fixing this issue. :3

Maybe do history Spelman and Morehouse were the greatest HBCUs even when there was nothing they produced great research just as much as the white schools they were considered the black ivy’s back then and were founded in 1881 and 1867 they are still one of the greatest schools

You know how many protest and such have been done to try to fix hospitals it hasn’t worked at all there is still unlawful malpractices and neglect toward people of color in hospitals especially women birthing centers there was a study done between black birthing centers and white ones the white ones neglected more of the black women than the black birthing centers it was quite interesting you should read on it

Baa 🐑 i have at times felt neglected at times in my own medical care that I attribute partially to my mental illness and partially to me being transgender. It can be very frustrating if not dangerous to be neglected by the healthcare system, and while I won’t claim that my experience is in any way similar to what black and brown people experience every day I will use that experience to try to understand where people of color are coming from and listen to their experiences :3

Okay, and do you think things were better before there were efforts to make historically white higher education more accessible to black people? Also I see that little fuckin Dr Umar in the corner. You should not be basing anything involving healthcare on stuff associated with that dude.

Not every area has a large enough black population or a wealthy enough black community to create hospitals that could be on par with the existing ones present. Furthermore, if you create dedicated segregated “black hospitals” how would that impact other groups subject to racial discrimination and neglect at hospitals? If a Latino is harmed by a hospital and ignored from a black hospital, that leaves them stranded.

The answer here is to increase black involvement AND have better training in all hospitals. Creating a completely separate hospital is a massive undertaking and is just not practical in many areas, especially making one that is of equal quality to existing ones. There were way less HBCUs than white colleges in the South, because they couldn’t support as many.

Yea ur right we do have the same organs but doctors still believe that black ppl don’t feel pain the same way white ppl do. Another black woman was in labor and instead of helping her they sat her there and asked her questions while she screamed in pain

It’s not that it’s segregated. When black women have black doctors their mortality rates drop dramatically. Until we can get rid of racial bias in the medical system I don’t think it’s a problem if women go to black birthing facilities, a thing that already exists in some states.
