Vaccination Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic
Despite the availability of government-run health schemes and public hospital infrastructure, a large number of individuals from socio-economically disadvantaged communities delay or avoid essential surgical care. Key barriers include fear of medical procedures, lack of awareness, complex administrative processes, and the high opportunity costs of navigating the health system. These delays often result in worsening health conditions, medical emergencies, and even loss of livelihood—highlighting a critical gap between healthcare availability and accessibility.
Urban poor communities in India face significant barriers in accessing quality healthcare due to financial limitations, systemic neglect, and a lack of health awareness. With growing challenges like pandemics, climate change, and urban disasters, there is an urgent need for a holistic and inclusive healthcare model that addresses the preventive, promotive, and curative needs of women, children, and other vulnerable groups.
In urban low-income communities, many women lack access to timely antenatal and postnatal care, while children often miss essential immunizations and early health screenings. Cultural barriers, limited awareness, and fragile public health outreach systems make it difficult for women to make informed health decisions for themselves and their children.
Impact & Outcomes :
Even with the availability of government-run health schemes and public hospital infrastructure, many socio-economically underprivileged individuals continue to delay or avoid necessary surgical treatment. Factors such as fear, lack of awareness, complex procedures, and high opportunity costs discourage timely care-seeking, leading to worsening health conditions and loss of livelihood.
Impact & Outcomes :
The COVID-19 pandemic deeply impacted urban and peri-urban communities, especially in slum areas where misinformation, limited access to healthcare, and fear of vaccination were widespread. There was an urgent need to counter myths, improve awareness, and facilitate access to vaccines, particularly among socio-economically disadvantaged populations.
