摘要: Substantial rural–urban health differentials characterize both developing and developed countries. In general, rural populations are characterized by poorer status limited availability of, or access to, appropriate health-care services compared with urban dwellers. These disparities reflect the impact of specific environmental geographical factors on needs to care, and, more importantly, broader structural social economic determinants health. Rural disadvantage is in end expression a complex array underlying risk requiring quite interventions rather than solely health-related programs.
