ABSTRACT

A gendered analysis of women’s healthcare utilization and its influencing factors is a primary focus of this chapter. Through its qualitative approach, the current chapter demonstrates how the demographic, behavioural, social, cultural, economic and health factors work together in combination to create great difficulty for women to receive healthcare during and after disasters. Analysis of these factors reveals that socio-cultural factors, especially cultural attitudes to gender relations and responsibilities, have a significant influence on the healthcare access of women, being intensified in poor economic conditions. Two diagrams, ‘Factors affecting healthcare access in disasters’ and ‘Relationships among the factors influencing healthcare access in disasters: A gendered analysis’ have been presented in this chapter to explain these findings.
