Access to health care amenities is essential to attain good health. Elder people living in rural areas face a lot of barriers to access critical care. Ideally, older people in rural areas have a health right to access primary care, emergency care, and dental care. This access is important in overall disease detection, treatment, and prevention. The elderly population faces a big problem in transport to the health facility. In rural areas, health facilities lack adequate infrastructure, and at the same time, they are located at a far distance Jaclyn (Janis et al., 2019). Health illiteracy among the elderly due to lack of confidence in the quality of care to be provided makes a health challenge to the elderly (Janis et al., 2019). In remote areas, people rarely practice anonymity. Social Stigmatization and privacy issues tend to have a challenge in access to health care. Lack of health insurance coverage in rural puts a financial challenge to the elderly while seeking health care services.
The needs that should be involved in the formulation of the core merits of health care among the underserved population creates theoretical theme work. This framework allows every party to fully participate in every client’s needs to ensure the usefulness of all set health care core merits. Priority selection criteria have an accurate selection in the underserved population’s management to prioritize their health needs. To meet the underserved population’s needs, the health workforce shortage in rural areas should be prioritized. Lack of enough health personnel has limited access to health services (Janis et al., 2019). Increasing health practitioners in underserved areas will boost their access to health services. Secondly, improving the health care infrastructure will lower the burden. The introduction of health care coverage is an intervention to reduce health care financial burden.
