Several barriers can impede access to care, including:
Geographical barriers: Rural and remote areas often lack sufficient healthcare facilities and providers. Economic barriers: High costs of healthcare services and lack of insurance coverage can prevent individuals from seeking care. Cultural barriers: Language differences, cultural beliefs, and practices can affect the utilization of healthcare services. Structural barriers: Inadequate transportation, long wait times, and complex healthcare systems can hinder access to care. Social barriers: Stigma, discrimination, and lack of social support can discourage individuals from seeking care.
