It is essential that rural health issues be understood in more than anecdotal terms and that rural inhabitants be treated as more than statistical categories, Policies and programs designed to meet rural health needs must be grounded in solid information and sound research analysis. Rural clinicians practice in different and sometimes challenging environments and often have to be innovative and adaptive in what they do. Because the health problems confronting rural communities are serious, complex, interrelated and evolving, research should have a critical role to play in examining the nature of these problems, monitor their progress or deterioration, identifying their causes, finding solutions and evaluating the effectiveness of various interventions but we believe our little action during the #YourHealthYourWealthEruwa will bring more stable health status in Ibarapa East Local Government.
