A Blueprint for Rural Public Health
A large majority of the world population lives in villages in the rural areas of almost all countries. The health infrastructure for these people in small numbers living in the villages is not the same as urban dwellers. Primary health care is the fundamental requirement for the health of villagers, as health and education are fundamental human rights. Public health model aims at disease prevention and health promotion. Preventive health costs a tiny fraction of curative health, normally spent at the very end of life cycle. This chapter examines what the health issues are at the villages or rural communities, what an equitable health care structure is such that the citizens living in rural areas and villages could afford the basic minimum health care, what the challenges of primary and rural health care as well as options for secondary and tertiary health care to the villagers are and explores how best we can use modern technologies such as e-health, telehealth, electronic health/medical records (EHR/EMR). This chapter ends with a proposed plan for an ideal but implementable primary healthcare centre in each village. A real-time, already functioning primary health care centre in the Southern Indian state of Chennai at the village of Arakkambakkam is included as a case study in Chap. 26 of this book.
