Socioeconomic factors have over lasting effects over the living standards of the people and in attaining a good primary healthcare. People who are socioeconomically strong can adopt better healthcare facilities as compare to people those are socioeconomically weak. People having better economic and social status are normally well educated, and they do have control over various things such as good salaries, better friend circle and better employment opportunities which helps them in attaining better healthcare facilities. People who do not have stable jobs and earning sources are not economically strong, and they cannot afford better healthcare services. These uncertain conditions are increasing the diseases among the socioeconomically weak people. They normally locate the clinics in small areas that are cheap and do not provide better healthcare services.

The social factor that helps in influencing the clinic includes the social trends, cultural traditions and the different values related to society and patients.

The clinic must be located in an area where there are more requirements of quality health care services.

This allows the people of the community to get better healthcare. The political forces also help in promoting awareness programs and purchasing latest equipment for the basic healthcare units.
