Expands federal health programs to include Middle Eastern and North African communities
This bill would officially recognize Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) individuals as a "racial and ethnic minority group" under federal health law. This change would make MENA communities eligible for health programs and resources they currently cannot access. It would also require a detailed study of their unique health needs and outcomes.
Today, Middle Eastern and North African individuals are not officially recognized as a "racial and ethnic minority group" in federal health law, limiting their access to specific health programs and data collection efforts. After this bill, they would be included in this definition, making them eligible for these programs. The Department of Health and Human Services would also be required to conduct a detailed study of their health needs and make the findings public.
