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:

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

Abstract:

Abstract Global health initiatives driven by western ideologies often lack adaptation to local contexts in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), leading to persistent health inequities, inadequate infrastructure, and limited access to care, especially in rural and marginalized areas. Attainment of equitable health care in LMICs is beset by many long-standing challenges. These are a multiplicity of sociocultural, political, economic, and infrastructural determinants preventing high access to quality care, mostly among rural and marginalized communities.
