Keywords:
Community-based rehabilitation, Health disparities, Low-resource environments, Patient outcomesAbstract
The lack of community-based rehabilitation services in low-resource environments poses a significant gap for future research and hinders patients’ recovery. Neglecting these services can lead to poor healthcare outcomes and perpetuate health disparities. Urgent attention is needed to address this service gap and improve patient outcomes in underdeveloped areas. Policymakers and healthcare professionals should prioritize funding and training for community-based rehabilitation services to ensure comprehensive care in low-resource settings.
