Barriers to access to health services for women and children in Latin AmericaBarreiras de acesso aos servi ços de saúde para mulheres e crianças na América Latina

CONCLUSIONS: Women who reported barriers to access had a statistically significant lower probability of using essential health services for themselves and their children. Strategies aimed at removing barriers should focus not only on improving the range of services offered, but also address issues related to norms, gender roles, and women's empowerment if sustainable progress toward universal access is to be made.PMID:35875315 | PMC:PMC9299390 | DOI:10.26633/RPSP.2022.94
