[Epistemic Injustice in Health: A Narrative Opportunity].

Epistemic injustice is defined as the harm inflicted on a person in their capacity as a knower and affects the generation and distribution of knowledge. It was described by Miranda Fricker, who distinguished two types: testimonial and hermeneutic. Testimonial injustice occurs when a person receives little credibility, and this is attributed to the presence of some negative stereotype, which harms and conditions their identity and affects their testimony.
