This book challenges readers to rethink rural health ethics.
Traditional approaches to health ethics are often urban-centric,
making implicit assumptions about how values and norms apply in
health care practice, and as such may fail to take into account the
complexity, depth, richness, and diversity of the rural context.
There are ethically relevant differences between rural health
practice and rural health services delivery and urban practice and
delivery that go beyond the stereotypes associated with rural life
and rural health services. This book examines key values in the
rural context that have not been fully explored or taken into
account when we examine health ethics issues, including the values
of community and place, and a need to "revalue" relationships. It
also advocates for a greater attention to meso and macro level
analysis in rural health ethics as being critical to ethical
analysis of rural health care. This book is essential reading for
those involved in health ethics, rural health policy and
governance, and for rural health providers.
