Structural, economic, attitudinal, and systemic challenges often lead to poorer health outcomes and exclusion from essential services. This article provides an evidence-based review of these barriers, explores recent innovations, includes data visualizations on healthcare access, and offers policy recommendations for a more inclusive health system across the continent.
