Medically underserved populations

Medically underserved populations are groups of people who lack adequate access to healthcare services due to factors like geographic isolation, low income, or lack of health insurance. They often experience higher rates of illness and poorer health outcomes because healthcare facilities, providers, or resources are limited or difficult to access. Addressing these disparities involves improving healthcare availability and affordability to ensure that all individuals receive necessary medical attention, regardless of their social or economic circumstances.
