What are the Common Challenges Faced Due to Geographic Limitation?
Limited availability of healthcare providers: There are fewer pediatricians in rural areas. Long travel distances: Families may have to travel several hours to reach healthcare facilities. Economic barriers: Travel and accommodation costs can be prohibitive for many families. Lack of specialized care: Access to pediatric subspecialties like cardiology, neurology, and oncology can be very limited. Telemedicine limitations: Although telemedicine has improved access, it may not be a complete substitute for in-person care.
