Introduction:
The key social determinant of health identified in the Kingdom is access to healthcare services. Access to healthcare services refers to the ease with which individuals can obtain healthcare when needed. It encompasses factors such as availability, affordability, and acceptability of healthcare services.
This social determinant is closely related to the public health concern of inadequate healthcare utilization. Despite the presence of healthcare facilities, a significant proportion of the population in the Kingdom does not access healthcare services effectively. This leads to delayed or inadequate treatment, resulting in poorer health outcomes and increased healthcare disparities.
