Public health professional Nishat Uddin discusses her article "Why culturally compassionate care matters for South Asian communities." Nishat explains why South Asians, one of the fastest-growing U.S. populations, face disproportionate rates of diabetes, heart disease, and PCOS. She highlights the key cultural and systemic barriers (like dietary disconnects, language barriers, and deep-seated stigma around mental health and infertility) that prevent individuals from seeking or following care. This episode dives into practical, compassionate strategies for clinicians to bridge these gaps, such as adapting dietary advice to include staple foods (like rice and chapati) and understanding collective family decision-making. Learn how small, intentional changes in the health care system can build trust and create genuinely person-centered care for everyone.
