In the region, healthcare services are primarily provided through a combination of public and private facilities. The public healthcare system is overseen by the Ministry of Health, which manages primary care centers, hospitals, and clinics that offer a range of services, including preventive care, maternal and child health, and treatment for chronic diseases. Access to these services can sometimes be limited due to factors such as resource constraints, staffing shortages, and infrastructure issues. Private healthcare options are available and can offer a higher standard of care, often featuring shorter wait times and more advanced medical technologies. However, these services may come at a higher cost, making them less accessible to low-income populations. In rural areas surrounding the town, healthcare access can be even more challenging. Community health workers often play a vital role in delivering basic health services and education to underserved populations. Overall, while there have been improvements in healthcare access and outcomes in recent years, challenges remain in ensuring that all residents have access to quality medical care. Health initiatives focusing on education, vaccination, and maternal health are crucial for addressing ongoing public health concerns.
