Issues of inequity and health are complex, and this makes them hard to solve. What would be one solution to limited healthcare o
lara31 [8.8K]

One of the solutions to limited healthcare as a result of limited facilities in rural areas would be to have standby ambulances for cases that cannot be handled.

<h3>Solutions to limited healthcare in rural areas</h3>

Available health facilities are limited in rural areas for a variety of reasons. Some of these could be:

  • Lack of manpower to handle equipment and facilities.
  • Lack of regular usage of facilities leading to their malfunctioning
  • The inequity of the government
  • Lack of access roads and general infrastructural facilities

One way to tackle this problem would be to refer cases that cannot be handled in the rural area to the nearest urban hospital and this can be achieved by providing standby ambulances to transfer patients.
