We discuss how eurocentrism influences healthcare systems around the world. We unpack the experiences of people of colour when seeking care, particularly that of the award winning, tennis champion, Serena Williams, after her daughter's birth. We highlight the regressive impact of Western knowledge being the  standard and the necessary steps to decolonise Global Health. Ever witnessed or experienced racism in a healthcare system?
