description Discrimination, a negative word signifies a substantial departure from the righteous expected societal norms. The overall scenario being: The one who discriminates- A wrinkled forehead and face with narrowed eyebrows & the one who is discriminated- A tight lipped, saddened questioned face. In earlier times, the slavery remained the highest forms of discrimination. Discrimination in the basic attributes leads to deprived states in all including health. In health sector, discrimination is to be considered as secondary and primarily it occurs because of the universal factors like colour, gender, caste, culture, creed, race, ethnicity, being poverty stricken and in certain occupations. Discrimination in health being a negative determinant, it cunningly pushes the health to negative side of the line. Health when paired with discrimination, the outcome is definitely poor. It leads to poor health on account of the dwindling approachability to health care services.
