Article Synopsis
- Health planners often focus on geographic proximity to assess access to health services, but effective access also relies on having trained providers and adequate supplies.
- A study in Malawi, Mali, and Zambia revealed that while 43% of the population had geographic access to health services, effective access dropped to only 14%.
- Implementing community case management (CCM) significantly improved access, potentially increasing effective access to between 30-57% if trained providers and necessary supplies were ensured.
