Addressing the Social Determinants of Health in the Amazon River Communities of Loreto, Peru, to Improve Maternal Health Access
Geographic isolation has a significant impact on healthcare access, with education and transportation emerging as critical factors in maternal health outcomes. The findings highlight the need for culturally sensitive interventions that address these root causes. Proposed sustainable solutions include basic medical training for community members, emergency plans, and improved transportation to reduce maternal health disparities in these communities.
