🩺 No Access to Rural Healthcare | Medical Reality in Isolated Communities Explains no access to healthcare and the lack of healthcare in rural areas where distance, poverty, and isolation turn treatable illnesses into fatal conditions.

No access to healthcare means illness without diagnosis, treatment, or prevention. In rural regions, distance decides survival. Fair Future works where medicine is absent, restoring care through presence.

[4/5] Depuis 2012, l’ARS utilise l’indicateur APL, qui calcule le nombre de consultations accessibles en tenant compte du nombre de médecins, de leur âge, de leur activité, du temps d’accès et des besoins des habitants. Il est mis à jour tous les deux ans. #geography #medicalaccess

[3/5] Quand il n’y a pas de généralistes, les patients vont plus souvent aux urgences. Entre 1996 et 2021, leur taux de prise en charge a doublé. Ces passages révèlent l’épuisement du système local de soins et des retards dans la prise en charge médicale. #geography #medicalaccess

Représentation de l’APL aux médecins généralistes en 2023. Drees - Irdes, Fourni par l'auteur

[8/8] Réguler l’installation ou imposer des jours d’exercice en zone sous-dotée pourrait déplacer le pb sans le résoudre. Ces mesures risquent d’aggraver la situation ailleurs en affaiblissant aussi les zones aujourd’hui dites sur-dotées. #geography #healthcare #medicalaccess #spatialinequality

[7/8] Le zonage actuel se focalise trop sur la médecine générale. Il ignore les parcours de soins globaux, comme l’accès aux spécialistes. Résultat : les politiques peinent à résoudre l’ensemble des difficultés d’accès à la santé. #geography#healthcare #medicalaccess #spatialinequality

[6/8] Si l’accès est trop difficile, certains renoncent aux soins, faussant les chiffres. Comme dans un restaurant trop petit : on ne compte que ceux qui ont mangé, pas ceux qui ont eu faim. Le nb de consultations ne mesure pas toujours la réalité des besoins. #geography #healthcare #medicalaccess

[5/8] L’exemple de Marmande montre les limites de l’APL: malgré un score de 3,6, la moitié des habitants disent avoir du mal à obtenir un RDV, et 19% renoncent à consulter. L’APL reflète ce qui a été consommé, pas ce qui aurait été nécessaire. #geography#healthcare #medicalaccess #spatialinequality
