Need for Cost-Effective Orthopedic Treatment in Developing Countries

Abstract

One of the primary barriers to adequate orthopedic treatment
is the high cost associated with surgeries, rehabilitation,
and medical devices. For many individuals in developing
countries, out-of-pocket expenses for such therapies are
prohibitively expensive, leading to delays in seeking care
and worsening conditions. This financial barrier significantly
limits access to necessary orthopedic services in regions
with minimal or nonexistent healthcare insurance coverage
