4 years less life expectancy: how do we help solve the underlying problems
Recent research has highlighted that the representation of health practitioners in regional Australia is as little as 9% of the representation of practitioners in metropolitan areas.
in particular with allied health practitioners and medical specialists.
In fact, over 90% of Medical Specialists and Allied Health practitioners are located in metropolitan areas. What has amazed us is that this ratio is the same right across the globe.
The lack of access to these health services in regional and areas (and therefore to affordable preventative and rehabilitative treatment) contributes to the reduced life expectancy of around four years compared to people of the same nation and health system living in non-metropolitan areas.
Online consultations – whereby practitioners treat patients remotely in real-time over the internet using webcam technology – can alleviate these barriers to patient treatment.
