TITLE: “Health services still beyond reach of remote communities”

KEY INFO: A lot of rural areas face significant challenges when it comes to accessing medical services, often due to the absence of proper medical institutions. This forces people to travel farther than they should, exhausting them of their resources and financial state. Furthermore, since most people who reside in rural areas do not have enough money to spend for the expenses, they rely on traditional doctors and sometime even 'quack doctors' or shamans for aid, which are less effective than actual medicine, or may even be scams. Although, there are some readily available medical treatments in rural areas, they still lack the essential medicine in case of a full blown operation or treatment. This highlights the need of financial support and investment for healthcare in rural areas to ensure a steady supply of medicine and to maintain enough properly trained personnel for administering aid.
