Equitable radiology services in rural Nepal: Why it’s crucial to bridging the gap

In rural Nepal, accessing basic healthcare services can be a challenge. This challenge becomes even greater when it comes to accessing radiology services that are essential for the diagnosis and treatment of many illnesses and conditions.

However, the distance from rural areas to medical facilities offering these services creates a significant barrier to accessing care. In addition, resource mobilisation and access to these services are not equitable, meaning some individuals and communities may have better access than others.
