Physical Accessibility

Physical accessibility in health services refers to how easily people can reach and use healthcare facilities and services. This includes the presence of ramps, elevators, and wide doorways for those with mobility challenges, as well as clear signage and transportation options for everyone. It ensures that all individuals, regardless of their physical abilities, can obtain the care they need without unnecessary barriers. Improving physical accessibility is crucial for promoting health equity and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to receive timely and effective medical attention.
