Exploring Poverty's Impact on Healthcare: A Global Health Perspective

This presentation addresses the critical intersection of poverty and healthcare, emphasizing their direct correlation in a global context.

The presentation further explores the impact of economic, political, social, and cultural barriers, alongside expensive healthcare services, on mortality rates and hygiene levels. It also examines relevant policies and practices aimed at mitigating the effects of poverty on healthcare, such as the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) and the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awaas Yojana (PMAY-G).
