Black Body

Instituto Yduqs, in partnership with Instituto de Educa??o M?dica (IDOMED), has released a short film titled "Black Body" that sheds light on the harsh reality of racism in healthcare in Brazil. The film, created by Artplan, aims to raise awareness about the microaggressions and discrimination faced by Black individuals, highlighting the disparities in medical care and the racial obstacles impacting their quality of life. The film was inspired by the findings of the MEDIVERSIDADE project, which works towards promoting diversity in healthcare. Shocking statistics, such as only 3% of doctors in Brazil being Black, underscore the systemic biases in the healthcare system. Black patients face longer wait times, shorter consultations, and limited access to imaging exams
