Across the globe many rural citizens reside in communities not served by a local health agency. Financial and geographic limitations typically restrict these people from travelling outside their area to access health services. People living in these communities are more likely to engage to experience higher rates of chronic conditions and be in the front-line of emerging zoonotic diseases (causing epidemics / pandemics)than city dwellers.

Most epidemics / pandemics start in rural communities.
Adults in rural areas are less likely to be tested for chronic conditions and this can result in disease rapidly spreading across the population without it being reported to authorities in a timely manner.
These are typically emerging zoonotic diseases (diseases transferred from animals to humans) and include ebola and COVID19.
These diseases are only noticed once they reach a large population center, rapidly causing further infections and deaths.
Help us stop the spread of emerging diseases by being on the front-line of rural healthcare and health reporting.
