The Uyghur
population in Xinjiang, China, represents unique attention for analyzing global
health disparities and social justice troubles.The Uyghurs are a distinct ethnic
and cultural group, primarily Muslim, dwelling within the Xinjiang Uighur
Autonomous Region (Maizland, 2022). This Turkic ethnic group faces multifaceted
challenges, consisting of cultural and religious discrimination, impacting
their health and well-being. The region has witnessed forced migration because
of authorities' guidelines, leading to a complex interaction of health problems.
Moreover, the Uyghur population shows vulnerability to infectious sicknesses,
exacerbated by way of constrained access to healthcare and a lack of cultural
sensitivity in medical practices (Zenz, 2019). This underscores the urgent need
to address the intersection of health, inequality, and social justice to
enhance the well-being of the Uyghur community in Xinjiang.
