Health Access

Health access refers to the ability of individuals to obtain the medical services they need when they need them. It involves more than just medical facilities; it includes factors like affordability, transportation, available appointment times, and understanding how to navigate healthcare systems. When people have good health access, they can get preventive care, treatment for illnesses, and regular check-ups, which helps maintain their overall well-being. Ensuring equitable health access is essential for promoting public health, reducing disparities, and enabling everyone to lead healthier lives.
