Improving Global Healthcare Accessibility through Research Proficiency
vi
The global healthcare landscape grapples with a myriad of challenges that lead to adverse
er
health outcomes, demanding prompt intervention. A primary concern is the significant barrier of
limited healthcare accessibility, necessitating collaboration among healthcare providers,
gs

governments, and policymakers. Through my professional experiences in economically


disadvantaged communities, I have witnessed a glaring absence of primary care facilities and
inadequately qualified healthcare professionals. This profound imbalance and the lack of
in

healthcare infrastructure in rural areas expose individuals to heightened vulnerability and


adverse health consequences.

Utilizing Peer-Reviewed Literature to Address Healthcare Accessibility Challenges


w

Recognizing healthcare as a fundamental human right, the World Health Organization


SN

emphasizes the obligation to ensure essential health rights for every individual (Zegeye et al.,
2021). Factors contributing to restricted healthcare access, such as geographical remoteness,
shortages of healthcare providers, transportation obstacles, and lack of awareness, escalate
morbidity, mortality rates, and financial burdens (Dawkins et al., 2021). Globally, approximately
M

400 million people lack adequate healthcare access, resulting in roughly 8 million deaths and
imposing a significant economic burden, particularly in developing nations (Zegeye et al., 2021).

Incorporating peer-reviewed articles into the annotated bibliography is essential due to their
comprehensive exploration of the subject matter, identification of factors contributing to limited

healthcare access, and facilitation of effective strategy development. These articles are recent,
ensuring access to up-to-date information.

The annotated bibliography draws from various databases, including Capella University’s
Library, BioMed Central, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, CINAHL, and ScienceDirect.
Efficient resource research was facilitated through keyword utilization, such as "limited access
to healthcare," "lack of availability of health facilities," "healthcare access in low and
middle-income countries," "healthcare made available," and "the importance of healthcare
accessibility."

Assessing Resource Credibility and Relevance

co
The CRAAP test is employed to evaluate the credibility and relevance of articles. Designed to
ensure the utilization of authentic and credible resources in delineating and mitigating

s.
healthcare issues (Lewis, 2018), CRAAP evaluates Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy,
and Purpose. The annotated bibliography sources adhere to these criteria, with a focus on

ce
relevance. Articles are recent, published in reputable journals, authored by healthcare
professionals, accurate, and purposeful in addressing limited healthcare access.
