Abstract:
Healthcare disparities between rural and urban populations represent a persistent challenge in modern healthcare systems, with rural residents experiencing reduced access to preventive services, specialty care, and medications. These disparities manifest in higher rates of avoidable hospitalizations, longer travel times for specialty care, and lower medication adherence. Digital health innovations offer promising solutions to bridge this divide through the strategic implementation of telehealth platforms, electronic prescribing systems, and artificial intelligence tools.

Abstract:
Chronic disease management remains a significant public health challenge, with both China and the United States facing distinct challenges in delivering health education to low-income populations. This comparative analysis examines how these two different healthcare systems address health education disparities, focusing on institutional structures, delivery mechanisms, and accessibility. Through systematic review of previous research and policy documents from both countries, we analyze the strengths and limitations of each system's approach to chronic disease education.

Abstract:
Abstract Rural communities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are particularly vulnerable to escalating health challenges driven by climate change and rapid urbanization. Limited healthcare infrastructure, economic instability, and inadequate access to climate information exacerbate health disparities. Climate change intensifies rural vulnerabilities by increasing extreme weather events, food and water insecurity, and the spread of diseases. Simultaneously, urbanization drives overcrowded informal settlements, strains health systems, and widens the urban–rural health gap. The migratio

Rural-urban healthcare access inequality refers to a disparity between rural and urban people with severe medical ailments in gaining access to the high-quality healthcare services they need.

Abstract:
Rheumatic and musculoskeletal disorders (RMDs) affect approximately one-third of the UK population, yet access to timely and equitable care remains inconsistent. National audits have highlighted significant variations in service provision and health outcomes, shaped by individual socio-demographic characteristics and place-based factors. Rural populations, comprising around 20% of the UK, face unique challenges due to geographic remoteness, centralised specialist services, and an ageing demographic. Workforce constraints and service accessibility further exacerbate these disparities, limiting

Abstract:
This report builds on the findings of the Nordic-Baltic 5G Monitoring Tool (N-B 5G MT) project ‘Analytical Report’, which focused on mapping 5G activities in the Nordic-Baltic region and analysing their roll-out status. In this follow-up report, we delve deeper into actual 5G applications across different verticals (i.e. sectors), including healthcare, transportation/mobility, industry and media/broadcasting. The report identifies challenges in each sector, such as funding constraints in healthcare, technical hurdles in transportation, market immaturity in industry, and infrastructure investme

Abstract:
This toolkit serves as a guiding document for frontier, rural, and micro-urban communities to implement a Health in All Policies (HiAP) framework in rural America. Too often, rural America is overlooked when it comes to public health and policy work. This tool will guide public health practitioners, community planners, elected officials, healthcare providers, and those who are interested in improving community and public health by analyzing and improving local policy in rural communities. Barriers to accessing healthcare services are well documented in rural communities. Rural populations ofte

Abstract:
Executive Summary: Mississippi’s aging population growth mirrors national trends and suggests a need to establish equitable and sustainable age-friendly policies and programs. This report offers an overview of the best practices from age-friendly states, which can be adapted to meet unique challenges and opportunities for Mississippi’s aging population. We highlight five age-friendly policy areas that can improve Mississippi’s livability. • Aging in Place: Best practices from California, Florida, and Massachusetts can be adapted to promote aging in place through structural changes to homes via

Abstract:
Like many other states, North Carolina’s population dynamics have shown a definitive shift toward greater urbanization. Some of the population increase in urban areas is in-migration from outside the state. However, net population loss in many of North Carolina’s rural areas has been on the rise for years. Population outflows of this magnitude can bring an array of unique challenges for rural small firms. Chronic rural issues like unfavorable geography, endemic poverty, and poor infrastructure for business can pose serious economic development challenges. According to some scholars, level of r

Abstract:
Rural Americans have historically faced significant challenges in accessing healthcare and preventive healthcare services, including ambulatory care, dental care, emergency services, and pharmaceutical services. Rural Americans are more likely to die from conditions generally considered self-manageable or preventable. This study examines rural versus urban differences in how the U.S. is meeting the Healthy People 2020 mortality objectives for many of the leading causes of death. Our analyses use national vital statistics mortality data available through the Centers for Disease Control and Prev

This Evidence Check aims to describe the current state of the biomedical engineering workforce in NSW and the challenges to maintaining this workforce. It draws on a scoping report prepared by the NSW Ministry of Health, a desktop review and interviews with key informants. The authors present key findings and recommendations for this small but critical workforce. These include addressing critical gaps in data on the workforce, clarifying and defining roles, issues around recruitment and retention, the impact of technological changes and issues around employment and deployment across diverse cl

COVID-19 has undoubtedly affected lives and livelihoods across the globe. In Zimbabwe, preliminary indications point to a worsening economic situation in a country already facing macroeconomic challenges, particularly in rural communities where most households depend on agriculture. National lockdown and movement restrictions have affected agricultural activities as well as access to markets and farming inputs.
