This indicator reflects the percentage of women who experience
significant challenges in obtaining health care due to the necessity of transportation. It encompasses the logistical barriers women face, such as the availability and accessibility of transport options, as well as the
financial implications associated with travel to medical facilities. Understanding this aspect is crucial, as it not only highlights the geographical and infrastructural obstacles that can deter women from seeking timely medical attention, but also underscores the broader social dynamics at play. By analyzing the impact of transportation difficulties, health policymakers can implement strategic interventions aimed at improving accessibility, ultimately fostering better health outcomes for women who are already vulnerable due to illness.
