Primary Care in Remote Settings

Primary care in remote settings refers to health services provided in areas that are far from traditional healthcare facilities. This can include rural locations or regions affected by natural disasters. In these situations, healthcare professionals deliver essential medical services, often using telemedicine, where patients consult with doctors via phone or video calls. Providers may also deliver care in person through mobile clinics. The goal is to ensure that everyone has access to basic health services, such as preventive care, treatment of illnesses, and management of chronic conditions, regardless of their location.
