description |
In low, and middle-income countries,
distance and cost can keep people in rural communities from
seeking and receiving care, even from the frontline health
system. Even where public health facilities exist, these
barriers, paired with (often justified) perceptions that the
care available is low quality, can lead to extremely low use
of available services, despite high need. Together, these
forces create systemic gaps in essential health service
coverage. To effectively engage rural communities in
essential primary care, frontline health systems must
develop innovative, locally-appropriate, and cost-effective
approaches to staffing, logistics, and financing that
overcome entrenched barriers to care. |
