Rural and remote health care
Abstract
The past decade has witnessed increasing interest in several countries especially Australia, Canada, America and more recently South Africa, in addressing the problems of rural and remote area health care as many of these areas have suffered as a result of poor resource allocation from governments. The challenge is to redress the imbalances of the past. The provision of health care, adequate and equitable services and facilities and human and financial resources are of prime importance for the future of rural health care.
