This indicator highlights the percentage of women encountering
significant challenges related to transportation when seeking health care. Specifically, it sheds light on one of the barriers women face, which can include the lack of accessible public transport or the inability to
afford travel expenses to health facilities. These issues may contribute to delayed treatments and worsening health conditions, significantly affecting women's overall well-being. By isolating transport as a critical factor, the data enables policymakers and health organizations to identify targeted interventions that could enhance transportation access, ultimately improving health care utilization among women. Understanding this barrier in the broader context of health access is essential for developing comprehensive strategies that ensure women receive timely medical attention.
