Our study highlights the need to incorporate socioeconomic inequities and barriers while devising healthcare outreach, awareness and service program. We suggest interventions aimed at enhancing healthcare access and promoting healthier practices that mirror the specific needs and socioeconomic dynamics of the local communities for improved community health and well-being.
