Poor Countries not having access to medicine

 A recent report from the World Bank and WHO claims that at least half of the world's population cannot access basic healthcare treatments. And each year, a sizable portion of households are driven into poverty as a result of having to pay for their own medical expenses.

At the moment, 800 million individuals spend at least 10% of their household income on medical costs for themselves, a sick kid, or another member of their family. These costs are so exorbitant for over 100 million individuals that they are forced to live on $1.90 or less each day in order to survive. The results were published today in Tracking Universal Health Coverage: 2017 Global Monitoring Report and Lancet Global Health at the same time.In Southern Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, there are significant gaps in the services that are available. While essential health care services like family planning and baby vaccination are becoming increasingly accessible in other areas, the fact that families must pay for these treatments out of their own pockets causes growing financial hardship for families. Even in more prosperous areas like Eastern Asia, Latin America, and Europe, where an increasing percentage of individuals spend at least 10% of their family income on out-of-pocket medical bills, this is a problem. Health service disparities exist not just within and within nations, since national averages might conceal poor levels of service provision in underserved demographic groups.
