Improving Access to Health‑Care Services to Improve the Global life Expectancy: World Health Organization’s Viewpoint

In fact, it has been observed that in developing nations, 1 out of every 41 women dies owing to a maternal cause, which is predominantly because of the lack of services and shortage of trained health personnel. The findings of a recently released report by the World Health Organization indicated that in most of the circumstances in which both men and women are suffering from similar diseases, the rate of access to health care among men is definitely less. Such trends have been observed in diseases such as HIV and tuberculosis, and the rates of utilizing diagnostic tests or accessing therapy have been less among men. In terms of cause of deaths, it has been identified that men are more prone to die because of lifestyle diseases and road traffic accidents, both of which are quite preventable.
