Abstract

The study found gaps in access to healthcare in people with VD in India. This population is falling behind in the core elements of UHC, i.e. affordability and inequality. India should adopt a comprehensive strategy that includes age-specific interventions, improved rural access, measures for socioeconomic equity, gender sensitivity, and expanded public health insurance coverage and social security schemes for people with VD.
