Abstract

Access to healthcare is a fundamental right that is often compromised in rural areas, particularly in countries like Saudi Arabia. This review article aims to explore the various barriers that impede access to healthcare services in rural areas of Saudi Arabia. By analyzing existing literature and studies, this review identifies key challenges such as limited healthcare infrastructure, shortage of healthcare professionals, cultural beliefs, financial constraints, and geographical isolation. Understanding these barriers is crucial for policymakers and healthcare providers to develop targeted interventions that can improve healthcare access and outcomes in rural Saudi Arabia.
