Economic empowerment is important role in shaping women’s challenges, influencing their ability to access quality healthcare and make informed decisions about their health. Women with economic independence are better positioned to access healthcare services, improve nutrition, and prioritize their physical and mental health. However, numerous socio-economic barriers such as poverty, limited education, and restricted employment opportunities prevent many women, especially in marginalized communities, from accessing essential healthcare, leading to poor health outcomes. Holistic care, which addresses physical, mental, emotional, and social well- being, is vital to meeting the diverse health needs of women. By considering all dimensions of health, holistic care provides a comprehensive approach that better supports women’s overall well-being. Economic empowerment is a key enabler in improving access to such care, as women with financial independence are more likely to navigate healthcare systems effectively and seek out necessary services. This research explores the relationship between economic empowerment and women's health challenges by analyzing primary and secondary data. It examines the barriers to healthcare access, particularly within low-income and underserved populations, and the impact of economic independence on improving healthcare outcomes. Economic empowerment of women to reduce health disparities, and integrated policies and also promote healthcare access are essential for breaking the cycle of poor health outcomes. Such policies can significantly improve women’s quality of life. Addressing both economic and health-related challenges enables the development of a more inclusive and sustainable care model that supports women’s holistic health and overall wellbeing.
