Addressing Challenges in Global Healthcare
Accessibility m
gn
Healthcare systems worldwide grapple with a myriad of challenges, resulting in adverse
health outcomes that demand urgent attention. Among these challenges, limited
si

accessibility to healthcare stands out as a significant barrier. The paramount objective of


ensuring adequate healthcare access for all necessitates collaborative efforts among
As

healthcare providers, governmental bodies, and policymakers. Drawing from my


professional experiences in economically disadvantaged communities, I observed a
ss

glaring absence of primary care facilities and a shortage of qualified healthcare


professionals. This stark inequality and the scarcity of healthcare facilities in rural areas
la

expose individuals to heightened vulnerability and adverse health outcomes.

Utilizing Peer-Reviewed Articles to Address Limited Healthcare Access

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


in

stressing the obligation to provide every citizen with essential health rights (Zegeye et
al., 2021). Factors contributing to limited healthcare access, such as geographical
nl

location, shortages of healthcare providers, transportation challenges, and lack of


O

awareness, lead to increased morbidity, mortality rates, and financial crises (Dawkins et

al., 2021). Globally, approximately 400 million people lack adequate access to
healthcare, resulting in around 8 million deaths and imposing a significant economic
burden, particularly in developing countries (Zegeye et al., 2021).

The inclusion of peer-reviewed articles in the annotated bibliography is justified by their


detailed elucidation of the topic, identifying factors contributing to limited healthcare
access, and enabling the development of effective strategies. The articles are recent,
ensuring the provision of up-to-date information.

The annotated bibliography sources are sourced from diverse databases, including
Capella University’s Library, BioMed Central, PubMed Central, Google Scholar,
CINAHL, and ScienceDirect. Keyword utilization, such as "limited access to healthcare,"

om
"lack of availability of health facilities," "healthcare access in low and middle-income
countries," "healthcare made available," and "the importance of healthcare
accessibility," facilitated efficient resource research.

Assessing Credibility and Relevance of Resources

en
The CRAAP test is employed to evaluate the credibility and relevance of articles.
Developed to ensure the use of authentic and credible resources in describing and

m
mitigating healthcare issues (Lewis, 2018), CRAAP assesses Currency, Relevance,
Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose. The annotated bibliography sources adhere to these
gn
criteria, with emphasis on relevance. Articles are recent, published in reputable journals,
authored by healthcare professionals, accurate, and purposeful in addressing limited
si

healthcare access.
