This indicator captures the percentage of women who experience
significant challenges in reaching health care facilities due to transportation issues when they are unwell. It highlights a critical barrier that can impede timely medical attention, illustrating the intersection of geographic accessibility and gender-specific health needs. By focusing on the necessity of transportation, this measure sheds light on the broader implications of health infrastructure and urban planning on women's health outcomes. High percentages in this category may reflect not only inadequate transport options but also underline the systemic inequalities that women face in navigating the healthcare system, ultimately affecting their overall well-being and the efficacy of health services in a community.
