In many low-income countries, it can be challenging for families to access health facilities, which can be due to factors such as long distances to clinics or economic considerations of paying for treatment, as well as lost wages from missed work due to the time required to get to a health facility and care for an ill child. Additionally, access to appropriate antibiotics for typhoid treatment within health facilities can be limited, particularly if the strain is resistant to one or several classes of antibiotics. Delays in getting access to appropriate treatment can lead to increased complications of the disease.
