HEALTHCARE

Poverty and poor health are intrinsically linked, creating a vicious cycle that affects millions worldwide. In impoverished communities, limited access to basic necessities like clean water, nutritious food, and adequate housing significantly increases vulnerability to disease. Simultaneously, poor health often leads to reduced productivity and increased healthcare costs, further entrenching individuals and families in poverty. This cycle is particularly devastating in developing regions, where lack of healthcare infrastructure and limited resources compound these challenges, making it difficult for communities to break free from the grip of both poverty and illness. 

Challenges include:

• Overcrowded living conditions

• Lack of clean water and proper sanitation

• Spread of diseases like tuberculosis and malaria

• Disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations (children, women, elderly)

Barriers to Care:

• Lack of facilities and shortage of trained healthcare personnel

• Rural communities have especially limited access to medical resources

• Lack of funding from governmental, private or non-governmental sources

• Prohibitive costs of medical treatment and transportation

• Unaffordable health insurance premiums

• Limited Patient Health Information Systems
