Limited funding can have profound impacts on public health:
1. Inequitable Resource Distribution: Scarce resources may lead to unequal distribution of funds, often neglecting underserved populations and regions. 2. Compromised Quality of Interventions: When funding is limited, the quality and comprehensiveness of public health interventions may suffer, reducing their effectiveness. 3. Long-term Consequences: Inadequate funding for preventive measures can lead to higher healthcare costs in the long run due to increased disease burden and complications.
