Support for Rural Hospitals: Improving Healthcare Access
This act aims to strengthen rural hospitals and medical facilities by providing more stable funding and improving healthcare access for rural residents. This means patients will have closer access to doctors and hospitals, and medical facilities will be better able to operate, which is crucial for older and sicker individuals living far from major cities.
Key points
Increased financial support for rural hospitals and clinics to prevent closures and improve service quality.
Easier access to telemedicine, allowing rural residents to receive medical consultations remotely.
Changes in operating rules for small rural hospitals to better meet patient needs and ensure their sustainability.
