Health Care Access and Equity Defined
Health Care Access and Equity has to do with the fair and equal sharing of health care resources, services and opportunities, making sure that every member of the community has access to the medical care they need when they need it. This ideology revolves around several dimensions which includes the following:
Free Access to Healthcare services: This depicts that people can easily access health services at any point in point without bias or prejudice. This involves location availability, where health services are within a distance not too far from the people, financial access which makes it easy for anyone to afford for the health care services not minding their financial statuses; and availability of information which informs the people about the available health services and which also enable people to make use of the services.
Availability: Health services must be readily be available at all times and it must be of sufficient quantity and quality to meet the needs of the masses. This involves enough health workforce, enough facilities and enough medical supplies to provide timely, adequate and professional health care services.
Affordability: Health care services must be financially accessible to all without causing financial hardship, otherwise, only those that have money will be able to enjoy the health care services leaving out those that are not financially buoyant. Affordability requires the cost of health care, insurance coverage, and the capacity of individuals to pay for their care without compromise.
Acceptability: There are cultural differences. Health care services must be culturally align to the patients’ beliefs, norms and values. This act suggests that health care services are provided in regard to the human dignity and taking into consideration their cultural and social background.
Quality: All health services must be high standards in order to ensure that care services are safe, proficient, patient-centered, timely, professional and fair.
Most importantly, health care access and equity are all about clearing the obstacles to good, quality and affordable health care that prevent people from getting the health care they need, whether economic, geographic, cultural or systemic. By looking these factors, we keen to reducing health inequalities and ensure that all members of society can access and enjoy the dividends of good health and well-being for a better living.
