Financial constraints and the need for sustainable healthcare interventions further complicate efforts to improve healthcare outcomes. Overcoming these challenges requires a comprehensive approach that includes training local healthcare providers, leveraging technology for telemedicine, and fostering community engagement to ensure the long-term viability of healthcare initiatives.
