Abstract

Healthcare access in South African slums is often limited by geographical barriers and socio-economic challenges. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative data from health records with qualitative interviews to assess programme effectiveness and community engagement. Community-based healthcare outreach can significantly impact mortality rates, especially when tailored to address specific local needs and challenges. Further research should explore scalability and sustainability of these interventions in other urban settings with similar demographics.
