Discrimination is frequently examined through the lenses of race, ethnicity, gender, or religion. However, nationality-based discrimination remains a pervasive yet under-researched issue in both social and professional settings, including healthcare. This article explores implicit biases related to nationality, their manifestations in interpersonal and professional interactions, and their implications for healthcare delivery. Using a personal experience from a youth football match as an entry point, this discussion extends to biases encountered in medical practice, referencing established sociological and medical literature. Practical recommendations are provided for fostering inclusivity and cultural competence in healthcare, ensuring the relevance of this discussion in both current and future medical and academic discourse.
