Abstract

This article analyses three broad questions: (i) How is 'remote' different from 'rural'?; (ii) How do these differences affect the provision of health care and health outcomes, positively and negatively?; and (iii) What is needed to address these issues and systematise solutions in order to deliver parity of health outcomes?
