| Summary: | In rapidly growing urban centers, most
residents are near health services. Nonetheless, a range of
social and financial constraints can deter individuals and
families from seeking care, preventing timely diagnosis of
chronic and infectious conditions. Creative and sensitive
outreach strategies, new approaches to proactive case
finding, and progressive payment models are needed to
surmount social and economic cleavages that drive persistent
inequities, and to improve the accessibility of timely
diagnosis and high-quality care in urban and peri-urban communities. |
