Rural Health

Rural health refers to the branch of public health and healthcare that focuses on improving health outcomes and access to medical services for populations living in rural areas. It encompasses a range of issues such as health disparities, the availability of healthcare providers, access to healthcare facilities, and the unique health challenges faced by rural communities. Rural health addresses factors like socioeconomic status, geographical barriers, and the integration of services, striving to ensure that rural populations receive quality healthcare comparable to that available in urban areas. It involves various disciplines, including medicine, public health, and policy-making, to develop effective strategies and programs tailored to the needs of rural inhabitants.
