Lawmakers and health experts say increasing the number of residency slots for doctors in rural areas is a key solution to improving access to health care in underserved communities. They presented this opinion during the session of the House of Representatives dedicated to progress in the field of next-generation health care. Residencies are specialized educational programs that medical graduates must complete before being licensed to practice medicine. Placing more of these positions in rural regions could increase the number of qualified doctors available in areas of shortage. This approach should help address health inequalities between urban and rural communities. Experts and legislators are united by the opinion that investment in health education in rural areas is essential for improving health care at the national level.
