Qualitative study identifies key barriers to healthcare services among marginalized individuals in urban squatter communities, suggesting significant implications for local health policies.
The purpose of this study was to explore the barriers to accessing healthcare services among marginalized individuals in urban squatter communities of Kathmandu Valley. A qualitative approach was used for the study. The squatter communities were divided into six clusters, and healthcare providers working in government-run local health institutions in the periphery of the urban squatters of Kathmandu Valley were approached for an interview. Thematic analysis was used to identify the barriers. Different barriers to accessing healthcare services among the squatter communities were identified, related to the supply and demand of healthcare services.
