Content:
Access to health care is the ability to receive health services for the prevention, detection, and treatment of disorders that affect health. For health care to be accessible, it must be affordable and able to protect and improve health. There are myriad reasons that may make access to health services difficult or even impossible. These include economic problems, conflicts, climate change, internal and external migrations, beliefs, and so on. This book examines many of these barriers to health care and proposes solutions for overcoming them.
