How Does Access to Healthcare Services Differ Across Socioeconomic Groups?
Access to healthcare services is often unequal across socioeconomic groups. Individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds may face challenges such as transportation barriers, lack of nearby facilities, and lengthy wait times for appointments. These obstacles can delay or prevent access to cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment services, negatively impacting health outcomes. Initiatives to improve healthcare infrastructure in underserved areas are essential to address these disparities.
