The aim of this study is to investigate the barriers that rural residents of district Sahiwal faces in accessing public healthcare services. By employing an online survey questionnaire with a sample size of 384 respondents, this research seeks to capture a diverse range of experiences and perceptions.

For social sciences (SPSS), by using 25 versions of statistics set this response was studied. The SPSS is used for measuring relationships by descriptive analysis, model summary, regression analysis, and ANOVA. The main results of this analysis show that rural residents of Sahiwal district have a significant association between their contact to healthcare of public and economic, cultural, and geographical barriers. This analysis has shown that economic, cultural, and geographical restrictions all specifically impact the ability of rural residents in District Sahiwal to access public healthcare services.
