What are Common Barriers to Physical Accessibility?
Several barriers can hinder physical accessibility for cancer patients, including:
Geographical barriers: Rural areas often have fewer healthcare facilities, making it difficult for residents to access specialized care. Transportation issues: Lack of reliable public transport or long travel distances can pose significant challenges. Facility design: Medical centers that are not designed with accessibility in mind can be difficult to navigate for people with disabilities. Financial constraints: The cost of travel and accommodation can be prohibitive for some patients, limiting their access to necessary care.
