Financial toxicity and acute injury in the Kilimanjaro region: An application of the Three Delays Model
Delay 1 (decision to seek care) and Delay 2 (reaching appropriate care facility) could be significant factors for those who will experience financial toxicity. In the Tanzanian healthcare system where national health insurance is present, systematic expansions are indicated to target those who are at higher risk for financial toxicity including those who live in rural areas, experience unemployment, and have many dependents.
