This indicator reflects the percentage of women who experience significant challenges in determining appropriate healthcare facilities when they fall ill. Specifically highlighting the aspect of knowing where to seek treatment, it sheds light on broader systemic issues that may hinder women's access to healthcare services. Factors contributing to this difficulty may include a lack of information about available healthcare options, cultural barriers that discourage seeking assistance, or even educational shortfalls that affect health literacy. Understanding these challenges is crucial for policymakers and health planners, as they can inform interventions aimed at bridging gaps in knowledge, ultimately fostering an environment where women feel empowered to access the care they need without hesitation or confusion.
