Difference between :-
Availability – the sufficient supply and appropriate stock of health workers, with the competencies and skill‐mix to match the health needs of the population;
Accessibility – the equitable distribution of these health workers taking into account the demographic composition, rural‐urban mix and under‐served areas or populations;
Acceptability – health workforce characteristics and ability (e.g. sex, language, culture, age, etc.)to treat all patients with dignity, create trust and promote demand for services
# Five As of access to care: affordability, availability, accessibility, accommodation, and acceptability.
1. Affordability is determined by how the provider's charges relate to the client's ability and willingness to pay for services.
2. Availability measures the extent to which the provider has the requisite resources, such as personnel and technology, to meet the needs of the client.
3..Accessibility refers to geographic accessibility, which is determined by how easily the client can physically reach the provider's location.
4. Accommodation reflects the extent to which the provider's operation is organized in ways that meet the constraints and preferences of the client. Of greatest concern are hours of operation, how telephone communications are handled, and the client's ability to receive care without prior appointments.
5. And finally, acceptability captures the extent to which the client is comfortable with the more immutable characteristics of the provider, and vice versa.
