Economic Accessibility

Economic accessibility in the context of health services refers to the affordability of healthcare for individuals and families. It means that people can obtain the medical care they need without facing financial hardship. Factors affecting economic accessibility include the costs of treatments, insurance coverage, and out-of-pocket expenses. When health services are economically accessible, individuals are more likely to seek necessary care, leading to better health outcomes and overall wellbeing. In essence, it’s about ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent anyone from obtaining vital health services.
