Abstract
This research investigates the essential role of social workers in enhancing healthcare access for women in India. It underscores how social workers serve as crucial intermediaries, advocating for equitable access and tackling systemic obstacles that hinder women's ability to obtain necessary medical care. These challenges include socio-economic constraints, cultural stigmas, and geographic barriers. By examining current healthcare policies and practices, the paper highlights the significant contributions of social workers in implementing effective health interventions and promoting public health awareness. The study showcases the diverse ways in which social workers impact various healthcare settings, improving health outcomes for women. It aims to inform policymakers, healthcare professionals, and social work practitioners about the necessity of integrated strategies to enhance women's health access and overall well-being in India. Through comprehensive analysis and insightful findings, the research advocates for increased support and recognition of social workers' roles in addressing healthcare disparities and promoting women's health in the country. The research ultimately calls for stronger collaboration between social workers and other stakeholders to ensure better healthcare access for women.
