Factors such as the type of treatment, type of disease, healthcare infrastructure, medical technology, and geographical location were found to be influential determinants of cost disparities. Furthermore, the review underscores the impact of socioeconomic factors, such as income levels, insurance coverage, and affordability, on patients' ability to access and afford necessary healthcare services. These findings emphasise the need for targeted interventions to address financial barriers and ensure equitable healthcare access in Kerala. This review analysis provides healthcare policymakers, practitioners, and researchers with valuable insights into the cost dynamics of treatment in Kerala. By understanding the factors influencing treatment costs, stakeholders can make informed decisions to enhance the affordability, efficiency, and quality of healthcare services in the state.
