About
Fong Liu is a health services researcher whose work focuses on surgical disparities and access to care, particularly in gynecologic surgery. Her most notable contribution is a landmark study on racial and demographic disparities in access to minimally invasive hysterectomy in California. This work, published in 2014, used a retrospective population-based analysis to demonstrate that race, socioeconomic status, and hospital characteristics significantly influenced whether women received minimally invasive surgery versus open procedures. While her citation count on this specific paper is modest, the study’s findings have been foundational for subsequent research on surgical equity. Liu’s research highlights critical barriers to advanced surgical care for minority and underserved populations, informing policy discussions on healthcare access. Her work exemplifies how rigorous health services research can expose systemic inequities and guide efforts to improve surgical outcomes for all women.
