a) Increased morbidity and mortality: Without adequate healthcare services, individuals are at a higher risk of developing preventable illnesses, experiencing complications from existing conditions, or even facing premature death. Lack of access to healthcare disproportionately affects vulnerable populations, such as low-income communities, marginalized groups, and those living in remote areas.

b) Limited disease prevention and early detection: Regular check-ups, vaccinations, and screenings are essential for preventing diseases and detecting potential health issues at early stages when treatment is more effective. A lack of access to healthcare hampers disease prevention efforts and delays diagnoses, resulting in more advanced diseases and poorer health outcomes.

c) Economic burden: When individuals lack access to healthcare, they often postpone or forgo necessary medical treatment. This can lead to increased healthcare costs in the long run due to the need for more extensive interventions or emergency care. Moreover, the economic burden falls not only on individuals but also on society as a whole.
