'Your postal code shouldn't determine the quality of health care you receive,' said Dr Terence Carter, DDG of Department of Health the Rural Health 20/20 conference held in Grahamstown last weekend.

'Your postal code shouldn't determine the quality of health care you receive,' said Dr Terence Carter, DDG of Department of Health the Rural Health 20/20 conference held in Grahamstown last weekend.

The theme was 'Through the looking glass of the past, the present and the future'. Organisers the Rural Doctors Association said the conference tracked mental health, clinical challenges and solutions, hope for the future and the era of technology.

Topics included developing integrated district rural mental health systems in South Africa; health, ability and well-being in rural areas; using mobile technologies in rural health care and the implications of NHI proposal for rural health care.

Carter, in his address, said irrespective of geographical location, every citizen should get the best possible health care.
Other delegates spoke of a lack of potentially life-saving information available to women in rural areas.

Lack of proper prenatal care was the cause of up to 10% of premature births which, along with HIV transmission from mother to child, was the biggest cause of infant deaths.
