The report also calls for better training for health workers and more information for parents.
‘The results from this initial review highlight the bias that can be inherent in healthcare interventions and assessments and lead to inaccurate assessments, late diagnosis and poorer outcomes for diverse communities.The Apgar test is ‘not fit for purpose’ for ethnic minority babies ‘The importance of listening to the parents’ concerns and appropriateness of policies and education of healthcare professionals including access to educational materials which reflect the impact of various skin colour tones on such important areas of neonatal assessment are among the key findings of this work.’
