Universal access means?

• A. Access to rehabilitation services for all people
• B. Access only for those with insurance
• C. Access only in urban hospitals
• D. Access limited to certain diseases

Answer: (A)

Universal access means health services are available to everyone who needs them, without barriers from cost, insurance, location, or eligibility. In this sense, rehabilitation services for all people capture the essence of universal access because they emphasize that no individual should be excluded from needed care. The other ideas introduce unnecessary restrictions—only for insured individuals, only in urban hospitals, or limited to certain diseases—which undermine the idea that access should be inclusive and universal for all who require rehabilitation.
