Abstract

Rural Health is one of the vital elements of global health. India being a nation of villages    requires an intensive approach towards rural health. Significant challenges are being faced  in obtaining timely and proper medical diagnoses, which can negatively impact their health  outcomes. Diagnostic gaps and limited access to healthcare in rural communities lead to   consequences such as delayed diagnosis, and increased risk for disease, which impacts  their lifestyle and Quality of life. Various schemes and policies have been formulated by the Government of India, aiming to bridge the diagnostic divide through leveraging advancements
in telehealth and mobile diagnostics, investing in healthcare, workforce development, and   empowering rural communities through education and engagement. Hence, all medical and  paramedical professionals have a responsibility to ensure equitable access to quality healthcare  for all. Hence, healthcare workers can take steps to create awareness regarding facilities implemented by the Government and its benefits is need an hour.
