Description
Humphrey Cyprian Karamagi and co-authors map what is known about unequal health care coverage in Africa in a 2024 scoping review. Even as countries push toward care for all, who gets care still splits by place, income, schooling, sex, faith, and other social lines. The team searched eight databases for studies from 2005 to 2022 on services for mothers and children, infections, and long-term diseases.
Studies were kept if they measured gaps in the use of such services in Africa. The team charted each study's setting and the gap lines it used, following a stepwise method with a tested form. Their map shows which gap lines and which services draw the most study, and where proof is thin. The work guides fairer health planning.
