Utilizing Research Skills to Confront Global Healthcare Accessibility Issues
PX
Healthcare systems worldwide face numerous obstacles that lead to adverse health outcomes,
requiring urgent action. One significant challenge is the widespread issue of limited healthcare
accessibility. Ensuring fair access to healthcare for all is crucial, necessitating collaboration
among healthcare stakeholders, governments, and policymakers. Based on my experiences in
SF

underserved areas, I've noted a lack of primary care facilities and trained healthcare
professionals, particularly in remote regions, exacerbating health disparities.

Employing Peer-Reviewed Literature to Address Healthcare Access Challenges

R

The World Health Organization recognizes healthcare as a fundamental human right,

emphasizing the need to provide essential health services to everyone. Various factors
contribute to limited healthcare access, including geographic isolation, workforce shortages,
U

transportation barriers, and low health literacy, resulting in increased morbidity, mortality, and
financial burdens. Roughly 400 million people worldwide lack adequate healthcare access,
leading to millions of deaths and significant economic strain, particularly in developing countries.
N

Incorporating peer-reviewed articles into an annotated bibliography is justified due to their

comprehensive analysis of factors contributing to restricted healthcare access and their role in
informing effective strategies. These articles are recent, ensuring the latest information is
utilized.

Credibility and Relevance Assessment of Resources

The CRAAP test evaluates the credibility and relevance of articles by considering Currency,
Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose. This test ensures the use of reliable resources in
addressing healthcare issues. The sources in the annotated bibliography meet these criteria,
emphasizing relevance, being recent, published in reputable journals, authored by healthcare
professionals, and purposeful in addressing limited healthcare access.
