Several barriers can impede access to care, including:
1. Geographical Location: Rural and remote areas often have limited healthcare facilities and professionals. 2. Economic Factors: High costs of healthcare services and lack of insurance can deter individuals from seeking care. 3. Cultural and Language Differences: Miscommunication and cultural misunderstandings can hinder effective healthcare delivery. 4. Transport and Infrastructure: Lack of reliable transportation and poor infrastructure can make it difficult for patients to reach healthcare facilities. 5. Workforce Shortages: A shortage of healthcare professionals, including nurses, can lead to long wait times and reduced availability of services.
