The document discusses a study on improving healthcare access in rural areas. It analyzes attitudes of nursing students in Thailand, South Africa, and Kenya towards working in rural settings. The study found that while rural work has difficulties, there is also goodwill towards rural healthcare. Individual attitudes varied, and exposure to rural training increased willingness to work rurally. The document recommends policies like decentralizing training, compensating rural workers, and capitalizing on reservoirs of goodwill to address staffing inequalities.
