Description

What About Rural Health?™ is a rural health and global health podcast exploring how healthcare is accessed, financed, governed, and delivered in rural and underserved communities. Hosted by Chinasa U. Imo, a global health policy strategist, researcher, and rural health advocate, the podcast brings together policymakers, healthcare professionals, researchers, community leaders, innovators, and people working directly within health systems to examine the decisions, structures, and conditions shaping rural healthcare. Each episode combines first-hand accounts, expert insights, policy conversations, and research to explore issues such as rural healthcare access, health systems strengthening, health financing, workforce shortages, public health, health policy, technology and innovation, community health, and the institutional factors that determine who receives care, where, and when. With perspectives from the United States, Africa, and other parts of the world, What About Rural Health?™ connects local experiences to larger questions about how health systems are designed, funded, and implemented. From deep-dive interviews to field-based storytelling, the podcast brings rural health into global/local focus and examines both the gaps and the solutions shaping care in underserved communities. Whether you are a health professional, student, researcher, policymaker, advocate, or simply curious about how health systems work beyond major cities, What About Rural Health?™ invites you to rethink global health through a rural lens.
