JUNE 27 REFLECTION VNM

How does the availability or lack of availability of health professionals impact rural health?

Lack of health professionals in the rural area can make accessibility and the quality of the healthcare worse. The mortality rate will be a concern and the care the baby boom population receives will be a concern.

The availability of health professions can resolve this problems.

How do we recruit health professionals to your county?

Priority is given to the grandaunts and residents of the county. County job fairs are carried out in the local education, religious and business centers. Incentives and good salary offers are utilized in recruiting.

What are the barriers and the assets of the community that could be used to retain health professionals in rural areas?

Lack of facilities and equipments for the healthcare system, specialist care and other healthcare professionals can make healthcare in the rural area difficult.

Culture, language and socioeconomic differences can also be a barrier in the county healthcare system.

Incentives and offering acceptable salaries can help in retaining healthcare professionals in the county.
