significant challenges in determining where to seek medical treatment when ill. It focuses specifically on the critical issue of navigation within the healthcare system, highlighting a prevalent concern among women about identifying appropriate healthcare facilities. Understanding this barrier is essential, as it not only reflects a lack of awareness or information regarding available services but also underscores potential systemic shortcomings in health education. By examining these access issues, policymakers can gain insights into the obstacles faced by women, paving the way for targeted interventions that improve health literacy, enhance service visibility, and ultimately foster equitable healthcare access for all women in the community.
