Report Shows Rural Health Inequities

I found references to broad discussions by global health organisations that rural vs urban health inequities remain a concern — but those were in general data briefs or academic papers, not cleanly packaged as a report or news article with a clear release date and link suitable for a quick news‑style citation.
Some advocacy and academic summaries mention that rural populations often have lower access to health services, higher burdens of preventable diseases, and worse health outcomes — but these are embedded in longer publications rather than standalone news‑report pieces.
Many of the reports are academic journal articles or data‑briefs, which are often behind paywalls or in formats that don’t fit a news article with date + link.
Some of the data and commentary on rural health inequities are part of larger global‑health reports (by organisations like World Health Organization (WHO) or academic consortia) — but these don’t always have a public news release version, so citing them as news becomes tricky.
Given variation across countries and regions, there isn’t a single global report on rural health inequities (2025) that’s widely referenced — instead, many smaller, localized studies exist, making it harder to compile a compact, authoritative list.
