Rurality, Poverty, and Health: Medical Problems in Rural Areas

Author

  • Doherty, Neville

Abstract

Excerpt from the report introduction: Poverty and illness are often so interwoven that it is difficult to determine which comes first. Though the interrelationship operates in all types of geographic and social settings, the handicaps of illness are intensified in rural areas—partly as a consequence of rural poverty and partly from other factors related to sparse settlement. This report looks at the relative health needs of rural, low-income people; the availability in rural areas of resources to prevent and treat sickness; the way needs and resources operate together to the disadvantage of rural people; and at some corrective measures that are underway or being planned.
