This indicator reflects the percentage of women who encounter significant challenges in identifying appropriate healthcare services when they are unwell. Specifically, it highlights the critical issue of navigating the healthcare system, which can be impacted by a lack of information or guidance on available treatment options. Understanding these barriers is essential, as it may lead to underutilization of healthcare services and can exacerbate health disparities among women. Addressing this issue could involve improving health literacy, offering clearer pathways for care, and enhancing community support systems that empower women to seek timely medical assistance without hesitation. Ensuring that women know where to go for treatment is a fundamental step toward achieving equitable healthcare access for all.
