–Michelle Obama

Women’s Health- Barriers to Healthcare Facilities

Female health and people’s approach towards it is misguided. There are barriers to female health from every direction and most of these barriers need to be addressed immediately. There are innumerable reasons that have restricted women to reach out for proper medical attention. The first stepping stone to the eradication of these problems is the identification of these issues. Therefore, some of the major ones are listed below.

1. Gender Disparities

A study done by researchers of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), the Indian Statistical Institute, Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, and Harvard University showed that the percentage of women who got proper access to health was 37% as compared to the 67% of females. These statistics show nothing but an evident gap between males and females when it comes to healthcare. It forms the major reason why women are not able to approach or evaluate their health.

2. Financial Reasons

Poverty is one of the strongest reasons women cannot access the right healthcare. Unstable financial conditions and financial insecurity which may be caused due to unemployment or low wages have been a driving force why women haven’t been able to reach healthcare facilities. This problem is heavily visible in rural areas, according to reliable sources and reports.

3. Lack of Awareness:

Many females are not familiar with the problems related to women’s health. Whenever they experience a small symptom like pain in the knees, ankle or nausea, or even any emotional symptom like nightmares of a traumatic incident, prolonged sadness, or panic attacks, they assume that these are normal pains or minor issues that can be taken care of with ignorance or home remedies.

While that may be true, ignoring such things can lead to the accumulation of health issues. They may be symptoms of an underlying illness. Improper education – is a major reason for the lack of awareness among women. Even if they are educated about their health issues, many females are unaware of the facilities around them that help them.

4. Shortage of Doctors:

Many reports have shown that the number of doctors is not a good figure in India. This issue is more transparent in rural areas where there’s one doctor in a village or one hospital with very few workers. The reason for this is mentioned in an article by DW (Deutsche Welle), stated by activist Kumari, “The attitude of the medical fraternity in the rural areas has been irresponsible. A large number of doctors are unwilling to work in remote villages as it is not financially lucrative.”

5. Social Barriers:

Unfortunately, innumerable social barriers have been responsible for women not taking a step in reaching out for proper healthcare, whether it be family problems, society’s pressure to be perfect, internal conflicts, or a generalized gender bias that runs throughout the system of society.

Healthcare facilities: Route to better women’s health

It is imperative to understand that women’s health is important for this world, and this doesn’t mean denying the healthcare facilities to other genders. It simply means bringing to the spotlight innumerable problems weathered by women daily when it comes to their fitness, whether it be on the mental front, reproductive front, or sexual front. It is to put forth the barriers that stand in front of them along with the global problems like poverty, to take an example.
