Question

Homeless individuals face numerous health issues, including seizures, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, musculoskeletal disorders, tuberculosis, skin and foot problems, and lack of access to healthcare. These issues are exacerbated by harsh living conditions, exposure to outdoor elements, high smoking rates, and lack of proper nutrition. Additionally, they face barriers to accessing healthcare, such as lack of insurance, transportation, and discrimination. These factors contribute to the increased risk of premature death among homeless individuals, highlighting the need for improved healthcare access.
