Rural Health Equity

Rural Health Equity refers to ensuring that people living in rural areas have the same opportunities to access quality healthcare as those in urban areas. This involves addressing barriers like distance to healthcare facilities, lack of transportation, and shortages of healthcare providers. It also means tackling social factors, such as income and education, that can affect health outcomes. Achieving rural health equity is crucial for improving the overall health and well-being of rural communities, ensuring that everyone, regardless of where they live, can receive the care they need.
