Show Worked Solution
  • C is correct: New technologies enable earlier disease detection improving outcomes; however, access inequities remain due to availability limitations

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Equal access claim is false; technology availability varies significantly across populations and regions
  • B is incorrect: New technologies demonstrably improve health outcomes through better diagnosis and treatment, not minimal influence
  • D is incorrect: Technologies benefit emergency and essential care, not just elective procedures
