Abstract

By 2030, 70% of cancer-related deaths and 60% of new cases are expected to occur in southern countries, where the incidence of cancer is predicted to rise. Certainly, the socioeconomic impact, early deaths, and years of productive life wasted as a result of cancer sickness cause family poverty and completely destroy the development efforts of African nations (Circ, 2008; Breakaway, 2009). Thus, seeking oncology care is a complex process influenced by a multitude of factors; most studies carried out on cancer have shown a strong association between socio-economic factors and survival. Thereby; this study is carried out with the aim of identifying socio-economic factors; among other factors; influencing access to oncology care among poor and vulnerable patients with medical coverage (RAMED) in Morocco. To do this, we used a nonprobability sample of the accidental type of 180 patients treated in a public oncology hospital in the Fès-Meknes region. The data are from a primary survey administered to patients, during the month of June 2021. The results obtained show that access to oncology care among Ramedist cancer patients in Morocco is significantly influenced by socio-economic, cultural, geographical, and organizational factors.

社会经济因素对摩洛哥穷人和弱势群体获得肿瘤治疗的影响

到2030年，预计70%的癌症相关死亡和60%的新病例将发生在南方国家，预计那里的癌症发病率将上升。当然，由于癌症疾病造成的社会经济影响，早期死亡和多年的生产生命浪费导致家庭贫困，并完全破坏了非洲国家的发展努力(Circ, 2008;分离,2009)。因此，寻求肿瘤治疗是一个受多种因素影响的复杂过程;对癌症进行的大多数研究表明，社会经济因素与生存之间存在很强的联系。因此;进行这项研究的目的是查明社会经济因素;除其他因素外;影响摩洛哥有医疗保险的贫困和弱势患者获得肿瘤治疗的机会。为此，我们使用了在f -梅克内斯地区一家公立肿瘤医院接受治疗的180名意外类型患者的非概率样本。这些数据来自2021年6月对患者进行的一项初步调查。所获得的结果表明，获得肿瘤治疗在摩洛哥ramdist癌症患者显著受社会经济，文化，地理和组织因素的影响。
