Rural Health Care
Rural health care refers to the medical services and facilities available in less populated areas, where access to health care can be limited. These regions often face challenges such as fewer hospitals, a shortage of health care professionals, and longer travel distances for patients seeking treatment.
To improve rural health care, various programs and initiatives aim to enhance access and quality. Telemedicine, for example, allows patients to consult with doctors remotely, reducing the need for travel. Additionally, community health centers play a vital role in providing essential services to rural populations, ensuring that they receive necessary care and support.
