Several barriers impede access to EmOC, including:
1. Geographical Barriers: Distance to healthcare facilities and poor transportation infrastructure can delay or prevent access to care. 2. Financial Barriers: High costs of medical services and associated expenses can deter individuals from seeking care. 3. Cultural Barriers: Cultural beliefs and practices may influence the decision to seek formal medical care. 4. Health System Barriers: Inadequate healthcare infrastructure, shortage of skilled health professionals, and lack of essential medical supplies can hinder the provision of EmOC.
