Why is there limited access to healthcare services?
Several factors contribute to limited access to healthcare in these settings. Geographic isolation often makes it difficult for individuals to reach healthcare facilities. There is also a shortage of healthcare professionals, compounded by inadequate infrastructure and medical supplies. Socioeconomic barriers, including poverty and low levels of education, further hinder access to healthcare services. Additionally, cultural beliefs and practices can influence health-seeking behavior, sometimes deterring individuals from utilizing available services.
