澳大利亚统计局的数据显示,社会经济条件不利地区的澳大利亚人由于费用问题在医疗保健方面面临重大障碍。 Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics reveals that Australians in socio-economically disadvantaged areas are facing significant barriers to healthcare due to costs. 超过11%的药方被推迟或停用,近27%的药方因支出而推迟牙科看病,比贫困程度较低的地区高出一倍多。 Over 11% delayed or skipped prescription medication, and nearly 27% postponed dental visits due to expenses, more than twice the rate in less disadvantaged areas. 处境最不利地区只有35%的人有私人健康保险,而处境最不利的地区只有79%的人有私人健康保险。 Only 35% of those in the most disadvantaged areas have private health insurance, compared to 79% in the least disadvantaged areas. 尽管存在这些挑战,但获得协调护理的机会在贫困地区更为普遍。 Despite these challenges, access to coordinated care is more common in disadvantaged areas.
