Evaluation of Treatment Facilities Available in Rural Punjab

Abstract

Healthcare accessibility in rural Punjab remains a critical concern due to infrastructural limitations, shortage of medical professionals, and inadequate policy implementation. This research paper evaluates the treatment facilities available in rural Punjab by analyzing secondary data sources, including government reports, academic studies, and health surveys. The study highlights disparities in healthcare delivery, infrastructural gaps, and the socio-economic challenges that hinder effective treatment. The objectives focus on assessing the availability of healthcare infrastructure, the quality of medical services, the role of government initiatives, and the socio-economic barriers affecting healthcare access. Findings suggest that while Punjab has made progress in expanding healthcare infrastructure, rural areas continue to face significant challenges in terms of accessibility, affordability, and quality of care. Recommendations emphasize strengthening primary healthcare centers, improving medical workforce distribution, enhancing public-private partnerships, and adopting technology-driven solutions to bridge the rural-urban healthcare divide.
