However, as shown in the beginning of this story, deaths from other causes also increased during the pandemic because of barriers to healthcare access [target: 3.8]. Forgone or delayed care due to health system disruptions (facility closure, insufficient staff, cancellation of elective procedures), fear of becoming infected with COVID-19, mobility restrictions, as well as reduced household incomes contributed to this burden of excess deaths.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --></div><div class="observer navigation-highlights svelte-n5348p"></div> <div class="observer loading svelte-n5348p"></div> <a name="c34"></a> <div class="side-by-side layout-full light default svelte-bkupxm" style="--goal-color : var(--color-un-sdg3)"><div class="scroller-container svelte-bkupxm"> <svelte-scroller-outer class="svelte-17jy5yq"><svelte-scroller-background-container class="background-container svelte-17jy5yq" style=" position: absolute; /* override with sticky if supported: */ position: sticky; top: 0; transform: translate(0, 0px); z-index: 1; "><svelte-scroller-background class="svelte-17jy5yq"><div class="left svelte-bkupxm" slot="background"><div class="foregone_care vis-container svelte-x9jmks in-scroller" style="--goal-color : var(--color-un-sdg3)"><div class="internal-container svelte-x9jmks"><div class="title-container svelte-x9jmks"><h1 class="svelte-x9jmks">Access to healthcare has improved from 2020 to 2021</h1> <h2 class="svelte-x9jmks"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Percentage of care forgone across country income groups<!-- HTML_TAG_END --></h2></div> <div class="vis svelte-x9jmks" role="img" aria-label="Bar chart showing the change in percentage of healthcare forgone across income groups between 2020 and 2021 (overall and by specific reason).

The disparity between richer and poorer countries in terms of financial barriers to accessing care will likely increase.
