Rural and Remote Health, 05/18/09
Greenhill JA et al. - In the current tenuous economic climate amid an aging population and major increase in chronic disease, rural areas have a much higher burden of disease to be managed by an aging workforce. Rural clinicians are confronted daily with the reality that the health status of people living in rural and remote areas is poorer than people in metropolitan areas. The increasing cost of delivering health care results in disproportionate funding for metropolitan hospitals with the expectation that rural people must travel long distances for health care. The need for quality health services in rural and remote Australia has never been greater. There is, however, also a groundswell of innovation and resourcefulness in rural and remote health policy implementation and service development. An opportunity beckons with the establishment of the Office of Rural Health and the upcoming increase in medical student graduates, to initiate a systemic approach to rural health policy beyond a ‘one size fits all’ or similar simplistic approach to the rural health workforce
