Abstract
While healthcare delivery in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has made notable strides, the benefits of improved access predominantly favour urban areas, leaving rural communities largely underserved. A multitude of barriers contribute to this disparity, including inadequate funding, a shortage of trained medical professionals, insufficient transportation, underdeveloped infrastructure, and entrenched educational and cultural beliefs. As rural SSA populations grapple with escalating burdens in infectious diseases such as HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, and heightened risks during childbirth and pregnancy, it becomes imperative to confront these obstacles in healthcare delivery and enhance healthcare provision in these regions.
