Implication

Cross-sectional survey reveals key factors influencing healthcare accessibility in rural and urban areas, indicating rural households face significant disparities.

Key Points

Healthcare accessibility was significantly affected by health insurance coverage and household size, especially in rural settings.
Among 1,009 households, only 45% reported having access to healthcare services, with urban households faring better than rural ones.
The analysis used cross-sectional data and employed binary logistic regression to examine disparities in healthcare access.
Findings indicate that targeted policy interventions are necessary to bridge the healthcare accessibility gap between urban and rural populations.
