There are many reasons for this situation, but to sum up, it does not hinder the following points: (1) the health awareness in rural areas should obviously lag behind that in cities; The overall medical conditions in rural areas cannot be compared with those in cities; Rural medical insurance coverage and reimbursement ratio are not as good as urban residents; The per capita income in rural areas is much lower than that in cities, so that the phenomenon that cancer equals death penalty often occurs in rural areas. The above four points are the reasons, and only the last point involves economic reasons, that is, poverty mentioned by the subject. But the key to solve the problem is to popularize health knowledge, improve the health awareness of rural residents, and promote the integration of urban and rural medical insurance and the implementation of serious illness medical insurance. I hope my answer is helpful to you. Welcome to discuss in the comments section.
